With alliances, betrayals, powerplays and intrigue, Game of Thrones readily captures the imagination. For Season 7, seven designers (and diehard fans of the series) created limited-edition, micro collections, featuring apparel and accessories to “Rep the Realm.” Drawing on the show for inspiration, the designers pulled Game of Thrones into their work, infusing modern streetwear with a healthy dose of fantasy.
Each week, a new design will be showcased here on Making Game of Thrones.
CARROTS by Anwar Carrots
Anwar Carrots, of the menswear label Carrots, revealed his wife and collaborator, Stella Blu, first introduced him to the show. “We work from home,” he explained, “and while we work, we watch Game of Thrones.”
Blu, is the artist behind the Dany sketch featured on the back of the t-shirt the couple designed. Carrots said, “My wife feels a connection to Khaleesi, and how hard it is for her as a female artist in a male dominated business.” His own role in the “Rep the Realm” collaboration was to figure out design and placement. He went with his first instinct to keep it clean and simple: Dany on the back of a white t-shirt, and a the Game of Thrones logo discreetly placed on a pair of black shorts. It’s an outfit designed for those ready to channel their inner Khaleesi.
Carrots personal favorite Dany moment? “I’m going to come clean: My favorite moment was when she met her man, Khal Drogo.” He adds, “When I saw that big dude kiss his girl like that, because he loved her... That was my favorite part. It felt the same for me and my wife.”
