Denomination

Gabriel Stunz Spring/Summer 2011

Although the collection's title 'Gakona' refers to a small village in the mountains of Alaska, its sound and final outcome does evoke a notion of Japanese tradition. Paired with German severity and craftsmanship, it results in the emphasis of two elements, two sides, the elusiveness of belt and scarf.

Abandon

Yohji Yamamoto Fall/Winter 2009

Chunky knitwear, pyjama and underwear references, oversized coats and shorts, massive layering and an unexpected whiff of colour. The body gladly lost in over-dimensioned garments and comforting fabrics that build a perfect shield but always remain formal and elegant.
