The Vexed Parka is from design company Vexed Generation's first collection in 1995. Their brief was to design a range of London streetwear that met both the practical needs and political concerns of today's urban generation. A mixture of form and function. The designers considered things like personal safety and protection against air pollution. But they also allowed more unusual ideas to influence the design of the Parka, such as civil liberties, street protest and CCTV surveillance.
