Ezra Ketter Smith for The Radar S/S 2025

About two years ago, while on holiday, Ezra Ketter Smith discovered the profound ability of clothing to evoke specific emotions and feelings. This realization led him to explore what he could offer through fashion, focusing on what people truly need. Living in the cold, often unforgiving environment of Minnesota, Ezra found inspiration not in embracing the bleakness but in rejecting it, creating designs that convey peace, warmth, and a sense of respite.

His clothing is characterized by soft fabrics, extended silhouettes, and non-gender-specific designs, all aimed at providing comfort and fluidity. Since teaching himself to sew in 2022, Ezra has dedicated countless hours to refining his craft, technical skills, and brand identity. Each piece is handmade to order from his Minneapolis studio, embodying his artistic vision and personal expression.

1+1=1 for The Radar S/S 2025.

Watoto Wa Kesho
In our first official collection, we are dressing the catalysts of tomorrow.

These clothes serve as a reminder that we are all part of the struggle to create a better future. Designed to inspire and empower. Our aim is for the youth wearing these clothes to feel a sense of purpose and resilience because the hope for a brighter future lies with the youth of tomorrow,

The reality we face is grim, with mass genocides and collapsing empires making headlines. The accessibility of information brings these distant horrors disturbingly close to home. Amidst this chaos, two paths emerge. One leads to negativity, sadness, and depression, fueled by a sense
of helplessness. The other ignites hope, inspiring a vow to never let such atrocities occur again, motivating us to strive for a better world.

Our garments act as armor, equipping the youth for the struggle ahead, constantly remindin them of today's challenges and their role in overcoming them.

“BLOOD, SWEAT, AND FEARS”

This season we explore the 250 year cycle of rebirth. The inevitability of our evolution feels more and more apparent by the day. A shift in energy, and the juxtaposition between immense suffering and hope. We find common ground in the stains on our pants and find friendly faces behind cowled hoods. This collection is for those with broken spirits, and for those whose spirit’s will not break. We are constantly inspired by the disenfranchised, the true fighters, the false villains. We ask ourselves what our breaking point will be. What does it take for us to shed our skin. What does it take for a person to change, or to be changed…
The path to revolution.
