Lindsay Jones' SS17 Line For Msed Takes On Dystopian Utopias

Playboy model, indie film actress, and artist turned designer Lindsay Jones isn’t afraid of making the personal political. Her SS17 line for Músed, the clothing line she founded after working for Marc Jacobs and Zac Posen is, as she says, a melange of “part refined and part fuck off youthfulness.” Reaching beyond ready-to-wear, she told Bullet Media’s Justin Moran of the line, “I’m still using luxurious fabrics and love draping — branching out into some gowns and overall more poetic works. It’s spring, so it’s lighter, airy, and frivolous, but hardly there.”

She releases her SS17 lookbook exclusively on Culture Trip below.
In an interview with Culture Trip, Jones says, “I had a vision of this dystopia we are living in that it would force a utopia from a a group of people.” The designer’s goal in life and this collection is to create “a safe place where we can love, share equal rights. Perhaps we would have permaculture gardens and solar power.” Artist Terence Koh shared rave reviews of the SS17 lookbook, shot by photographer Alexandra Carr, known for shooting actress and model Paz de la Huerta’s photo book, The Birds Didn’t Die Over the Winter.

As Jones releases her lookbook in the landscape of a nation divided, with many mourning and protesting a Trump presidency, pieces in her collection — created before result political events played out — feel strangely prophetic. “I never thought the elections would end on this note so the vision [see her “Don’t Fuck Up The World” /”Handle With Care” tops] sadly manifested. It’s a hope of mine that the people come together to work hard for the higher vision and goals of humanity.”
“In art and design I always try to transform my fears and anxiety because it’s a realm where all wounds are healed and all fears soothed,” Jones said.

Since you are here, we would like to share our vision for the future of travel - and the direction Culture Trip is moving in.

Culture Trip launched in 2011 with a simple yet passionate mission: to inspire people to go beyond their boundaries and experience what makes a place, its people and its culture special and meaningful — and this is still in our DNA today. We are proud that, for more than a decade, millions like you have trusted our award-winning recommendations by people who deeply understand what makes certain places and communities so special.

Increasingly we believe the world needs more meaningful, real-life connections between curious travellers keen to explore the world in a more responsible way. That is why we have intensively curated a collection of premium small-group trips as an invitation to meet and connect with new, like-minded people for once-in-a-lifetime experiences in three categories: Culture Trips, Rail Trips and Private Trips. Our Trips are suitable for both solo travelers, couples and friends who want to explore the world together.

Culture Trips are deeply immersive 5 to 16 days itineraries, that combine authentic local experiences, exciting activities and 4-5* accommodation to look forward to at the end of each day. Our Rail Trips are our most planet-friendly itineraries that invite you to take the scenic route, relax whilst getting under the skin of a destination. Our Private Trips are fully tailored itineraries, curated by our Travel Experts specifically for you, your friends or your family.

We know that many of you worry about the environmental impact of travel and are looking for ways of expanding horizons in ways that do minimal harm - and may even bring benefits. We are committed to go as far as possible in curating our trips with care for the planet. That is why all of our trips are flightless in destination, fully carbon offset - and we have ambitious plans to be net zero in the very near future.
