Parisfashion collection I LIKE IT, I LOVE IT!

Parisfashion is a collaboration between me and Natascha Hagenbeek. We started Parisfashion in 2008 as an experiment to design fashion items with and among other fashion lovers and creators. ‘I LIKE IT, I LOVE IT!’ is our first collection of fashion items.

We developped some workshops within the line of our collection. After the workshops we processed some of the outcome into our collection.

Design research on the use of Black Suits & proposal for a fashion show for the Baltic Triennial of Contemporary Art and the ICA in London (Black Market Worlds).. Explanation: The ICA in London end the CAC in Vilnius both are located near a park where business men have their lunch. As the invention of the black suit was an invention of modernity based on west European culture, in the way it could express new function of the men working in a service oriented (office), what has changed now the suit is globally in use to express ‘business’ but worn also freely outside the office.

The black suits them selfes are A-political, timeless and have an invisible quality. The black suit is a uniform but by looking close other details/ otherness makes appears. Inoformation that tells us something about how somebody ‘wears’ it. Posture, time, locality, personality and behaviour become points of difference and identity. People  taking off and on their jackets, open buttons, roll up sleeves, show labels, put things in pockets and feel at home in the suit.
