afterbirth

Romance Was Born know how to put on a show. Their paleolithic parade was a dramatic eruption complete with piggy-backed bride. The collection’s construction was a move forward for the label, taking them from glue-gun arts and craft to full fledged high production, but the clothes themselves – fantastic as they were – took second place to the staging which was, in the best possible way, insane.
