From studying Menswear designers for a previous uni project i had already established that Katie Eary was my fave newcomer, although her collections arent wearbable for everyone, her visionary concepts are beyond it bein an issue. she defines her work as been refined chaos, her AA09 graduate collection was a Russian blend of 'The Master and Margarita' Military attire, and criminal tattoos resulting in architechtural couture...(by the way i think she is just gonna be huuuge. ) a lot of her inspiration seems to be from literature, last year it was George Orwell's Animal Farm. for the 2010 spring summer collection shown at LFW, it was William Burrough’s 1959 dark psychadelic masterpiece Naked Lunch;
each look is taken from characters, theives, pushers, pretty boys and street rats, that fill Burroughs nightmare. a visceral yet glamorous version of the open body. Frayed denim, eyes sprung out of sockets (like them) gold pigskin over sunglasses, gold bones and pearl ribcages. Hmm. Refined chaos then...
