RIP CAPSULE VOL.2

Real Lies, Realise, Real Eyes (R3)

DAMAGECTRL presents “Real Lies, Realise, Real Eyes”, a capsule exploring the deceptive nature of status. A reflection on perception, this collection looks at how three different lives perceive, value, and appreciate wealth differently.

At first glance, the working man appears lost in the “grey,” yet he possesses the unique ability to turn common mettle into gold, finding a rose beneath the concrete. The bully, in contrast, projects self-crowned kingship, mistaking fear for respect and hiding insecurity behind intimidation. Finally, the modern slave sits in white-ivory towers, realizing too late that the lanyard is just a yard line and financial freedom isn’t always free.

“Real Lies, Realise, Real Eyes” doesn’t just observe these archetypes. It questions the “real lies” that govern them. The collection plays with the idea that wealth is often a fabrication. Without “real eyes” to uncover the truth, we cannot “realise” that the grass on the other side isn’t as green as it seems. Sometimes, the highest tower holds the smallest cage. “This is a tale of three,” It’s not about judging the hustle. It’s about realizing that time lays out the lessons we need to learn, and uncovering the difference between station and superiority.”.

This capsule is built around storytelling visuals and pieces that embody these distinct lived experiences. From the Rag2Riches Tee to the Modern Slaves Hoodie and Bully Polos, the collection invites wearers to look deeper. Routine meets resilience, intimidation meets fragility, status meets entrapment. It asks you to view the world with real eyes.

The “Real Lies, Realise, Real Eyes” pieces play with these narratives in every stitch: worn-out routines, self-proclaimed titles, and the burden of the white collar.
