Inspiration: Cheap Monday Fall Winter 2011
The Cheap Monday Fall/Winter 2011 collection takes inspiration from a variety of sources. Read the full interpretation here: According to Ray Kurzweil, the Singularity is near. This is the point when technological progress is so fast that we are unable to control or fathom what is going on anymore. We have looked at different scenarios when predicting the future, the future of consumer behaviours, fashion and living. Extreme predictions and mind-bending conceptions of how life will be not so long from now leads to theories and off shoots that might seem beyond belief, becoming even more intriguing.
Future inhabitants of the earth controlling their avatars from home in comfortable jumpsuits are reflected upon in the collection through a strong sports attire reference. Why not imagine the earth being covered in garbage, and humans in tracksuits living on a spaceship waiting for the robots to clear it up? A lack of human labour, fully sponsored lives and need for extreme self-exposure manifests trough super-stupid prints for AW2011.
Crinkled and sheer fabrics, net and organza suggests all day nudity when we no longer need to step outside. Cocoon like shapes is our interpretation of future endeavours in spirituality and religion. Exposed seams and anti fi t silhouettes gives utterance to our inner spirits. A darker side of our future visions shows a post apocalyptic earth, full of metal scraps and garbage. By using home made type of dyes, rubberised denim and dirty tints we gave the collection a dark, futuristic look. This image also gave birth to a strict, army inspired look with chimney collars.
In addition to the success of the Cheap Monday tight jeans sees the evolution Cheap Monday slim chino, now available in an array of great colour ups. The Cheap Monday Nyder Parka, Neo Check shirt, To Solid T-shirt and Zamak knitted jumper also feature again this season.
