Introducing a line of knit garments in cutting-edge treatments, cuts, and shapes, the Fluxus partnership with Jeffrey redefines and challenges traditional silhouettes in easy-to-wear fabrics, creating, “a blend of classic fashion and modern flair.”

When Fluxus owner Martin Paquette met Jeffrey in August 2009, it became clear that the combination of Jeffrey’s elegant rock’n’roll aesthetic and Fluxus’ art-driven philosophy would create a revolution in the apparel industry. Introducing a line of knit garments in cutting-edge treatments, cuts, and shapes, the Fluxus partnership with Jeffrey redefines and challenges traditional silhouettes in easy-to-wear fabrics, creating, as Paquette puts it, “a blend of classic fashion and modern flair.”
 
Jeffrey lends his signature avant-garde edge to the brand, evidenced by the collection’s synthesis of his three inspirations: the backstage of a ballet rehearsal, the dance floor of an 80’s disco night club, and the front row of a rock concert. With Sebelia at the helm, the Spring 2010 line reinvents its formula through the use of special wax treatments, sheer modal, and black
stripe burnout. Jeffrey’s vision is both versatile and unique, putting a twist on the classics to give them a cool update while maintaining the everyday functionality Fluxus is known for.
