Ritual

Walter van Beirendonck Fall/Winter 2011

Fashion's only true Bärchen surprised us with a tailored and quite conservative approach. Picturing the modern shaman. Whose suit is gradually conquered by colour and absurdity. The dichotomy of the tamed and feral perfectly summarized by hair sculptures - an aesthetic topic also discussed here.

Il Pleut

Madeleine Vintback Student Portfolio

Sculptural metamorphoses in tradition of masters like Hussein Chalayan and Alexander McQueen. Disturbing visions expressed via complex technology. The body dissolving as fluid surface. Covered by artificial structures.

Psychologic

Jil Sander Fall/Winter 2009

Lately, I've been asked what kind of dress would characterize me best. What dress would I pick if I were a woman. What dress would I dream of. And this is my choice. Minimal and severe but also complicated and allusively sexual.

Art Investment

Maison Martin Margiela Artisanal collection

The term art becomes vague when talking about Maison Martin Margiela. Establishing deconstructed garments with sculptural character as collector's pieces. Secret information: From November 30th they will be available online for a good cause.

Voluptuous

Meadham Kirchhoff Spring/Summer 2010

A wonderful soft structure, voluminous and frail. Broken brides. Multiplied and exaggerated by a correspondingly bulged sculpture.

Growing Things

Innsbruck has nice things to offer. As always, it's worth paying attention to the details in life. Then you will find magic sculptures everywhere...

Hardy Hard

Pierre Hardy Spring/Summer 2008

For me in this case the sculptural aspect is more important than wearability.
