Description

Fleetwood isn’t really seen as a place that stuff starts
or happens
or moves along

but who said it couldn’t be?

who said we couldn’t do that
who said we couldn’t move stuff forward
start stuff
try stuff out
get it wrong
get it printed
say stuff through our clothes

why not make our own thing?
that comes from here
is about here
celebrates and questions here
soaks up the outside view and throws it back at them

so that’s what this is
we’ve started a our own sorta label
made a load of photographs
and said a load of words about what it is to grow up
grow into this place

you wanna see or what?
the front door’s open mate

FRONT DOOR celebrates, questions and talks about what it is to grow up and grow into Fleetwood, a town at the end of the tramline in NW England - through photographs, clothes and words.

The project is the result of a year long socially engaged residency on a housing estate. Artist Ocean Farini and a bunch of under 30's thought it would be cool to start their own fashion label. So they did.
