It’s such a delight to see a designer progress in their
artistry, especially when you’ve admired their work in the very beginning
stages. You may remember Belgrade-based designer, George Styler from my exclusive interview here, about his previous collection, Captivity.
Since then, his work has taken a global tour all on its own, including the celebrated bird dress being praised in numerous style shots and high-fashion
glossies.

The designer recently presented a new collection at Belgrade
Fashion Week. This time he showcased his autumn/winter 2014-15 line entitled, NetWork. After catching up with the
designer, I thought that I would do a follow-up on the progression of his work
and share it with you.
A sort of avant-garde fairytale, examining similarities
in human connection is how you could describe NetWork. The Inspiration behind the
line fused the concept of the general relationship with people, society, and
cultures. “In this collection, I turned to the modern society individual that
lives in a virtual [world] not the real world. I wanted to present how much we
are connected, and to hint at the negative sides of the modern way of living where
we face a total communication breakdown,” Styler said.

“ the individual resembles a fish trapped in the net or the fish swimming in the everyday routines, unconscious of the beauty in which it should live and create.”

At first glance, you can see a vast amount of cultural references, including influence from Africa, amongst others. But, it’s the intertwining of elements that’s such a vital part of the collection, as well as the interpretation of diverse networks and association between people.
Other essentials such as coins and handmade decorations are
also used for symbolism. Styler took beads and coins from national costumes
(resembling scales) to create imagery that exhibited natural wealth. Leading resources in the collection consist of knitting with
3D materials and modern techniques of printing—thus, “creating a parallel
between the past and the future, posh and alternative, orient and west, land
and water,” Styler said.
What do you think of
Styler’s new collection?

This is certainly uniuque and such a creative use of different textures and materials such as the coins. The colours are so rich too and I imagine the last two designs must have taken quite sometime to create.

Well, at first sigh what impresses me is the inspiration of the collection. It is really interesting how he connected the two worlds, virtual and real, through it and the way he showed the different connections between people. A masterpiece! Kisses Madison, have a great week ahead! xo
ReplyDeleteOoh, this is a collection that I'm absolutely obsessing over. It has a bit of a McQueen twist to it that I love!!

Using the coins is all kinds of brilliant. I like how this collection looks, Madison. Thanks for bringing him to my attention. There's something very McQueen-like with his work.:)
