“I think this is a really commercial piece,” says
Beckett Fogg, one half of the team behind
Area, holding up a stiff metal cage wrought of rainbow-hued
crystal. To which I respond, with astonishment, “Commercial?”
But Fogg insists. “It’s really commercial because of the
many ways you can wear it! Look—you can just put it over
a white button-down shirt. You just have to have that
emotional connection. Our embellishments, our crystals, our
trims really draw you into the fantasy.”
