Acknowledgment Of Gratitude

Crinkled shirt Ana Hernández-Cornet
Flip sunglasses Asger Juel Larsen

A declaration of love to the determination and devotedness of two outstanding design personalities. Both adding relevance to a system called fashion and creating self-reflected identity with every garment.

Natural Impetus

Waistcoat Acne

An unstoppable inner force made me fall in love with this crispy white crinkled waistcoat. I couldn't resist the adrenaline rush. The result: A new piece in my collection and further proof for my waistcoat addiction.

Exfoliation

Mihara Yasuhiro Fall/Winter 2010

Besides a beautiful setting with live music and diagonal rows of wooden chairs, reminiscent of old school days, the collection spoke to me due to this particular trompe l'œil effect of crinkled fabric. Category: insatiable desire.

Voluptuous

Meadham Kirchhoff Spring/Summer 2010

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

A Mockumentary

Hernández Cornet Spring/Summer 2010

Raw edged frills, unbleached toile cotton, printed crinkle effects. A design exercise that incorporates mock-ups and mishappenings as an undeniable and necessary part of the actual result. The word final does not exist. Instead, it recreates itself through garments that resemble unfinished sentences, accompanied by a light and apparitional question mark, dangerously wafting in the air.

It seems I may have discovered my adoration for crinkled objects. Evolving an image from the obvious to the mysterious. Every kink an additional layer of construction and composition.

Silver Foil Fight

Mihara Yasuhiro Spring/Summer 2010 vs. Silver curtain

As Mariah sings, I am so obsessed. Obsessed with finding analogue images in my mind. All the time. A wafting matter of memories, impressions and connotations. It this ingenuity or insanity?
