RESPONSIBILITY The quality or state of being responsible; accountability, reliability, trustworthiness:
For his debut 2016 UNIFORM collection, Heron Preston collaborated with New York’s Department of Sanitation (DSNY) to create pieces constructed of decommissioned sanitation-worker garments and thrift-store finds screen-printed with the DSNY and Heron Preston logos. Since, he has developed a trademark aesthetic based on the simple forms and durable fabrics of work wear. In 2021, in response to requests from workers for garments with protective qualities, Preston created a series of shirts and jackets made of fire resistant and retardant fabric and shoes of vulcanized rubber suitable for the worksite.
