Stand Out in the Crowd - Painting and Suit Ensemble by ZiOnE
Stand Out in the Crowd
A wearable tribute to legacy and rebellion.
The painted suit was inspired by ZiOnE’s late grandmother, Joy Benscoe, a clothing designer whose vision was once destined for WOW (World of Wearable Art).
The artwork pulses with personality, humour, and defiance — a bold statement about individuality and cultural memory.
Includes both the painting and the painted suit.

A piece from the exhibition ZiOnE 1, a love letter to legacy.
The exhibition is a bold, expressive tribute to artists past, reimagined through ZiOnE’s distinctly modern lens. Exhibition One opens with Breakfast with the Saints, an abstract remix of traditional religious tableaus, and moves into the deeply personal Letters series—visual messages sent across time to creative giants like Jean-Michel Basquiat and Jackson Pollock.
Theis is the centrepiece, Stand Out in the Crowd. It merges fashion, identity, and art in a dual work of wearable and visual storytelling. With nods to his late grandmother’s design legacy, emoji culture, and the surreal cancellation of art during lockdown, it’s a powerful statement on visibility and individuality.
This collection is a communion—between past and future, text and texture, silence and rebellion.
