Homeless Chic

Simon Rasmussen Spring/Summer 2011

Fantastic Simon Rasmussen presented his first collection. An eclectic recycling of random materials and graphic references, also quoting Jean-Charles de Castelbajac's teddy bear coat worn by supermodel Helena Christensen in the heart-breakingly amusing film Prêt-à-Porter. An exquisit example for Recession Couture.

Thank you for last night's talk and your valuable contribution. It became manifest that you have something to say. And I personally wish, I could hear more of it. Last night I thought about the colour blue and Yves Klein. Maybe we can find its meaning in the context of our discussion.

Somehow swayed by previous Yves Saint Laurent collections, I took inspiration across the seasons and matched voluminous trousers with a fitted vest that, once put together, evoked the look of a jumpsuit. At least I imagined so.
