Stine Goya Puppet Ghetto collection

January 23, 2012 0

A dark and feminine circus populated by puppets, horses and mysterious ghosts: this is what I thought when I saw Stine Goya’s FW collection. The Danish designer, who started up her own label in 2006 after graduating at CSM the year before, combines special features and details to create beautiful fashion that adhere to people who seek authenticity and individuality in the everyday. Some elements of the collection made me also think to the tale of Pinocchio, the puppet who wanted to become a real boy (…)

Wallenberg . Where is the Ocean? In the heart of dreamers!

Fashion village

It’s easy to compare Wallenberg with the cultural movement that has animated the Bauhaus, I think that the singer could be easily considered as a student of the German school, a devoted adept to colours and geometric shapes.

Watching her clothes and the picturesque world she creates during her performance, we can consider Wallenberg the queen and master of camouflage, Oskar Schlemmer should be so proud of her. The cover title of her last new single summarises the entire concept of her music: ” Where is the Ocean” is indeed filled with nostalgia and reflection, sirens enchant sailors into death among the coral reefs and rocks.

But the thing that impressed me most was without any doubt her fantastic and sometimes frightening dolls illustrations. It’s clear that her passion for camouflage comes from here, or maybe the opposite, but her drawings give birth to very interesting and brand new experimental figures, a New Population.

She makes of contrasts and sounds a new way of expression, she stages a play made of gestures and creativity mixing all together with a personal fashion taste.

Unusual 3D pockets, hand finished collars and details, light built yet strong structures are visible also in his fw collection. Observing his work since he came to White Show in Milan I noted that he always goes around key figures: the female body, the belly of a pregnant woman, the essential male tayloring, the square. He recreates a family, a fertile world that is full of meaning, mistery and natural power in its semplicity. And the mistery is carried by the female figure that the designer imitates in the act of creation first of all with the square dress project.
