Positive Trauma

Bjork & McElligott Fall/Winter 2008

Especially the women's pieces remind me of this lady who used to visit my mum in former 90s days. A trashy girl wearing lurex leotards, red lipstick, always holding a cigarette. She also used to sell vacuum cleaners and make-up products from egypt. Oh, and I remember, her daughter had this very nice siamese kitten T-shirt. White trash at its best.

The contemporary woman who adores this iconic aproach to female identity wears Spon Diogo.
