New Talent: Edmund Ooi


Edmund Ooi 


Edmund, 24, is currently studying fashion at the Antwerp Academy. Although he is barely in his second year, but he's already stirring the world of fashion. 
An interesting interview, in which he reviews some motivations underlying his somewhat weird but fascinating collection, was published by Dazed Digital.

Dark Side


To those of you who are into anything Gothic: I've been informed that your day was yesterday, so I'm dedicating this posting to you all, my dark, post-modern buddies.

You're already "alternative" in most senses, including music, lifestyle, and, of course, fashion. So there's nothing new about you guys wearing skirts, only that they have to be black, and, whenever possible, they should display other elements referring to the Goth scene, such as leather belts, chains, or occult imagery.
Am I right?


Anyways, I'm not really part of any subcultural stream or urban tribe myself... but I'd definitely wear any of these!

Prickle and Prick


Romance of Violence 
2011 Collection


The result of the joint efforts of designer Sean-Anthony Moran film-maker/theatre-performance artist Christopher Sutton is Void of Course this new London based label featuring quite singular, somewhat hostile looking garments with explicit BDSM connotations. Leather, of course, is the ubiquitous star.

Tribe á la mode


"Tribes"
Sang Bleu Magazine


Editorialist Jean-Luc Française

We don't know the precise name for this fancy, fashion-aware urban tribe, but it does look quite, well... tribal. And, in spite of the pricey printed textiles, expensive furs, and elegant bijouterie, the gang also looks threatening enough.

I guess face-paint, tatoos, and S&M gear have something to do with that. Anyways, one couldn't stumble upon a more stylish mob.

Need some discipline?


Jaiden RVA James recently launched their Autumn/winter 2010-2011 collection. Once again, it's not difficult to realize were do controversial Rashn D'Vera Agymang and Jaiden James find their source of inspiration: do chains, handcuffs, belts, black leather and latex ring a bell? For some, the couples clothes are not "inspired by" BDSM apparel, but they actually "are" sado-mascochist gear.

Whatever their use may be, their clothes reflect an existent aspect of human psychology, and an actual lifestyle for many people, who enjoy consensual roleplay. The delight in dominance and submission has always found it's way to the catwalk no matter how bad society tries to hide it. But few designers bring it up so explicitly as this London-based African couple.

Black leather, metal rings and belts are a must, as well as JRVAJ's well known masks, but the collection also includes high heels (the models still need some practice, though). I miss the wonderful skirts featured in past collections. (See J&R Revisited)
