Comme des Garçons Spring/Summer 2013

Car crash brides and kamikaze gift wrap dresses - my proposal for feasts, high days and holidays. The appropriate code for the upcoming 'Gnadenbringende Weihnachtszeit'. Cozy, glamourous and pretty insane.

Codes Of Decoration

1. Lara Jensen for Inbar Spector Fall/Winter 2012
2. Oscar De La Renta Fall/Winter 2012
3. Jil Sander Spring/Summer 2009
4. Ben Toms The Divine Invasion, Dazed & Confused June 2012

Moths, crystal and pearls. When decoration does not just decorate but cover everything. In various degrees, the codes are challenged, the purpose of jewellery hyperbolized. More is more.
