Grand Poop

LAZOSCHMIDL Spring/Summer 2015

A collection that follows the storyline of contemporary performance art. Tracking down the fascination of body liquids such as piss, shit, sperm and spunk, the garments turn the perverse universe of Sarah Lucas, Paul McCarthy and Gilbert & George into rich textures and embroidery. Stains are re-interpreted as crystal applications on silk dupion and screenprint on organza. The obscene turns into decadence.

Candy Crush

Dior Resort 2014

Within a few seasons, Simons has established a precise colour code of soft pastels and primary electric hues. Adding decorative twists and athletic turns, he continues to define what 'his' womenswear is about: pop, surrealism and superior gender.

Omen, Interrupted II

Dior Haute Couture Fall/Winter 2012

Corseted bustier tops with hypersized balloon skirts, florals as subtle stripes, shades of pink and Yves Klein blue - if you turned back time and changed the location, you'd find yourself amidst Raf's final, almost sentimental collection for Jil Sander. Regardless of this parallelity effect, no one is expecting an abrupt change from a designer whose signature has nurtured desire for and sex appeal of high luxury brands.

Mrs. Raf Sander

Jil Sander Spring/Summer 2013

In the same way as Raf initially condensed the Jil Sander brand heritage, she herself returns, comrprises his thoughts and their claim on modernity. A story of archives and tributes to what she and he left. What was him is hers.
