Ortonandon

The Orton family has been larger than life for me as for more than fifteen years, I have had the honor of their friendship, company and creativity. Ortandon is the collaborative creativity of three sisters Katie, Sophie and Anna and their many faceted creative explorations. This one is a performance piece by Katie and Sophie with a pair of tights and it is genius in its humor, dance and possible developments.

Dana Mikelson

Dana Mikelson is a costume maker from Germany who creates work for film and photography this is her white and wire creation with photography by Laura Nickel. I really like the wire profile forward of the face in the middle image.

Maldoror

Polish design Maldoror headed by Grzegorz Matląg has recently relocated to Berlin, the perfect location for this young, dynamic label.
“The first and most important thing an individual can do is to become an individual again, decontrol himself, train himself as to what is going on and win back as much independent ground for himself as possible”

Guda Koster I

Guda Koster's work combines fashion, theater, design and architecture to create a new dialogue about our everyday lives. Questioning tradition, habit and the coded meaning that clothing and fashion conveys.

Marko Mitanovski I

Love the theater and drama of Serbian designer Marko Mitanovski's Lady Macbeth 2010 collection.

Nikoline-Liv-Andersen

Above is Nikoline-Liv-Andersen's amazing sculptural dress made from plastic drinking straws. The texture and visual interest of Nikoline's work is wonderful as is her determination to reinterpret a basic throw away item from modern life into a unique textile/dress form.
