Double Feature

A 'False Encyclopaedia' double feature with Ana Hernández Cornet, discussing:
Vetements Spring/Summer 2015

An off-key play with school of Margiela proportions that feels innocent and pristine, yet awkwardly sexy. A lurking feeling of something violent about to happen. Yet a warm and fuzzy feeling, like being naked under a pink fur coat.

/ANA

Conservatism and boredom, broken with elements of 'off'. As if Martin Margiela was still 'alive' or as if his twin brother built a parallel world. The team at Maison Martin Margiela does a great job to maintain and continue the legacy of its founder. Vetements, the anonymous collective formed around a former Margiela protégé, re-builts this legacy. Something is happening.

Longing for super snakeskin. Colourized and streamlined. Total perfection (Simone), total adaption (Sportmax), total redemption (Gucci). Milan and London is dressing for the transgender woman at heart.

Walter van Beirendonck Fall/Winter 2013. A study in male glamour composed of lurex suits, python platforms and spandex turtlenecks. One of the strongest editorial collections that only rarely made it into stores. Why?

Steven Meisel - Prada Fall/Winter 2011

An über-stylized almost softcore presentation of perfect porcelain skin and young, innocent lolita beauty. When the spheres of reality blur from High Fashion to Second Life, woman and image are equally fetishized.
