WHEN SMOKE CLEARS® is an emerging design collective composed of Thermal Taveras, Yaasin Brazil, and K$ace, creating under the genre of Art Rock. Bridging conceptual design, emotional rebellion, and narrative craft into a mature youth-driven aesthetic, WSC operates where fashion becomes both message and medium. Rooted in New Tradition, their work is forward-thinking yet grounded in heritage, hardship, and clarity through adversity. A visual language of resilience and reinvention.
