HOMESICK

SS25 2024

JRAT’s SS25 collection, HOMESICK, emerges out of fond memories of miserable moments–staying home sick from school—under the loving care of mid-90s daytime television (talk shows, games shows, informercials, and all).

HOMESICK is a comforting mirage to snuggle up with, when facing the intolerably bleak nature of the future before us.

In the same way that memories are an amalgamation of recollections, the garments of HOMESICK replicate the slashing and splicing of the memories in one’s mind, but in textile form. Pillowy silhouettes contrast with these shredded surfaces to swallow the body in a safe, protected embrace.

In no way haphazard, the hodge-podge of materials, textures, and colors that comprise HOMESICK are intentionally and personally curated from found, reclaimed, and deadstock materials by the artist behind JRAT, Janelle Abbott.

HOMESICK finds solace in the blissful self-deception that nostalgia manifests.
