Reassembled Resemblance










1. Jocelyn Hobbie
2. Kathy Butterly

What I like about this combination is the meatiness that transcends from fine art to deconstructed ceramics. These compositions almost leave the feeling of perfect bodies melting into undefinable structures.

Couples



1. Céline Spring/Summer 2012
2. Matthew Miller Spring/Summer 2012

The horizontal block stripe, white on white. A belted waist. While he is wearing layered shorts, she sports a deconstructed version of skirt-like flaps. A perfect couple has many things in common, yet shows differential characteristics.

Forgotten Persoons






Clothes Jurgi Persoons
Photograms Laszlo Moholy-Nagy

And suddenly there was Jurgi Persoons. Within the (too) short time span of 1997 to 2003, the unavowed Antwerp locum introduced clothes for 'anorectic, rich and lazy young girls'. His broken minimalism still merits recognition.

The Missing Piece











1. Esther Stocker
2. Maison Martin Margiela Waistcoat by Willy Vanderperre
3. Zak Prekop

One day, some things will be rememembered and others will be forgotten. Cultures have disappeared. And still, cultures are driven by the sincere attempt to beat the natural system of death. Artistic production as self-recreation.

Pristine Era












Hermès Fall/Winter 1998 - 2003

Interestingly, Martin Margiela has been working with Hermès from 1998 to 2004. It allows us to witness his approach to tailoring before the essential act of deconstruction. The graphic sartorialist.

Welcome to my temporary home. Located in a dirty side street. Cheap materials, randomly placed. Dysfunctional electronic equipment, plastic and papier mâché furniture. Dear and true to a new WTF DIY mentality.

Deconstructed Triptych







1. Kasimir Malevich Selected artworks
2. Jenny Postle Graduate Collection
3. Comme des Garçons Fall/Winter 2011

Something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue. Taking the principle of collage and multiplying it in itarative rows of three. Irregular rows of cloth and colour. Layered geometric shapes. Three lines of text.

Sympathisant




Wendy & Jim Spring/Summer 2001 - Fall/Winter 2007

What do I like about Wendy & Jim? The notion that its wearer has just escaped a mental hospital. Or is still drunk from the night before. It translates confusion. Can somebody now please help me with that strait jacket?!
