ONLINE SHOPPING AT OKI-NI / PAUL SMITH LOOSELY KNITTED (BEAD-LIKE QUALITY) ROUND NECK CARDIGAN

2012-02-14T17:00:00.001+01:00

Paul Smith’s collection for Spring/Summer 2012 revolves around the signature touches of imagination that have become defining characteristics of the popular British designer over the years. This exquisite cardigan combines artisanal influences with a unique pattern, to create one of the collection’s stand-out, accent pieces.

Woven from a blend of premium cotton and polyester, the loosely knitted fabric has an almost bead-like quality that is dazzling to the eye and the touch. The piece gently rolls at the hem and cuffs, adding to the textured aesthetic, and is finished with large pearlescent buttons.

ANNE SOFIE MADSEN »SEDNA« AUTUMN/WINTER 2012/13 WOMEN’S COLLECTION

2012-02-08T14:00:00.004+01:00

© by Anne Sofie Madsen

After an adventure with the mechanical ballerina and the graceful samurai in the S/S 2012 collection »Mononoke«, Anne Sofie Madsen this time takes inspiration from Sedna – the half skeleton and half human Inuit goddess of the underworld.

The horror of Sedna is a tragic story of a young woman who loses her life in the arctic cold and becomes a goddess with a wish for revenge.

The skeleton of Sedna is depicted in the work with techniques inspired by carvings in Ivory from the Inuit tupilak figures. The human side of Sedna shows a more vivid figure expressed through the patterns and fringes covering the garments. Silhouettes inspired by Victorian menswear contribute to the atmosphere of the horrendous story.

The collection is the expression of a tupilak coming to life in a novel of the late 19th century horror literature.

The Ubi Sunt Autumn-Winter 12/13 collection »Ensemble« is about looking elegant with ease, beautiful but not forced. It’s about usable pieces for the regular days or evenings in grand saloons. It’s the subtle, small things such as the Ubi Sunt main features like the frayed edges, unconstructed suit jackets and the exquisite knitted jersey that assemble the looks self-evidence. It’s about letting things have its way, and simply be.

»THE SPIRIT BECOMES FREE ONLY WHEN IT CEASES TO BE A SUPPORT« Franz Kafka

The main inspiration for the IVANMAN A/W 2012 collection are the  thoughts, feelings and the overall state of mind of the writer  Franz Kafka. His works, written in the era of the downfall of the  Austro-Hungarian Empire a century ago, tell of the alienation of man in modern society and his fight against the evils of bureaucracy but also the poetry of endless love letters contradicting the  unwillingness to bind oneself to the beloved person and topped up with  the romantic but dramatic loss of love. All of this in a mood where  War is comprehended as a global state of fear and as a synonym for an almighty destructive rage, and where destruction has become a principle of daily survival.

IMAGINATIVE SEVERITY

  IVANMAN reflects these views through a rigorous shaping counteracted by imaginative details. Precise cuts meet playful colours or strict geometric applications in his collection of shirts, classic jackets and sports jackets. Minimalistic chest-covers function as tie replacements. Over-sleeves recall nostalgic official’s uniforms.  As to the color palette, he indulges in gloomy blacks mingled with clear white, in between he perceives a gradations of soft beige, brown and light gray tones. This collection feels an obliged simplicity and a fantasy of transformation. The »think local be global« comes to  mind.   

»I consider my fashion as a development of literature, music,  architecture or fine arts and try to reflect our current social state.  Kafka strikes our Zeitgeist in an impressive way. The collection  contributes to the alternative interpretation of his work.« IVANMAN
