What began as a show on pirate radio station Know Wave in 2016 has evolved into a design practice based on the concept of "New Utility". Originally founded by Gimme Five’s Michael Kopelman, stylist and creative consultant Stephen Mann, then-Mackintosh project designer Taro Ray, and Kiko Kostadinov. AFFXWRKS reimagines traditional workwear and is continually furthered through collaboration.
