BABY SAYS BOUTIQUE
E shop, on-line boutiques, I evermore relish stumbling upon a dewy on-line store something bursting with independence, low reproductions and hence..... deflatedly my excitement turns down a notch or two, when viewing the price's, which is understandable seeing as they are mostly an independent business, but I am pretty much chuffed by the affordable prices for all on Baby Says Boutique, some dresses start as low as £10.
“For The Love of God" is the collection born inside of a school project based on the study of an ethnicity as opposed to a theme of breaking. And who is the Student who shares us with his collection? Lorenzo Busato a Fashion Designer from Italy, who's new SS 10 collection has been galvanized by the works of Damien Hirst. Lorenzo explains, The essential & symbolical graphics, the concept of death estranged from it's meaning of pain, the dissection of the elements, the obsessive specularity, frequently used themes by Hirst, personally revisted for the project, become modular patterns to be applied on the fabrics, become a mask that lifts off the identity before the fear of death, become monumental shapes for clothes, alike architectural works, strong, impressive, which do not seem to bow to the passing of time.
I particularly find the standing figure and clothes of sculptures & geometrical volumes, quite eerily daunting and captivating at the same time, I think especially due to the faces are masked away and the same identical stance taken in each photo. This collection is certainly a window to the fusion of fashion, art, history & architecture, and If you want to see more from Lorenzo, you can follow Lorenzo's blog & flikr and I hope this eerily figure does not appear in a nightmare one night!
