FILIP_ROTH

E-mail Designer

E_XISTENCE is a collection for the spring/fall season 2013. Moreover, it is the first part of a trilogy dealing with the topic of struggle for meaning of human existence. This central theme is underlined with a few seemingly insignificant quotes taken from novels of J.P. Sartre and A. Camus. The collection consists of several female and male dresses kept in an unisex manner, which is additionally leaving space for individual interpretation. Furthermore, it is kept in a chilly colouring: an omnipresent black emerging in materials such as wool, cashmere, leather or Jaquard weaving – with the last serving as the leitmotif of the whole collection – is punctuated with a strong orange accent coming forth in nylon or alcantara. In the course of interdisciplinary actions a film was made under the same title – E_XISTENCE – promoting the collection during the second edition of the "Warsaw Fashion Film Festival". The Film is an integral part of the presentation, which will take place the 21st of April at the 8th instalment of the "Fashionphilosophy Fashion Week Poland" in Lodz.

About the Designer

Filip is based in Cracow, Poland. He studied at Cracow School of Art and Fashion Design. His collections are produced in Poland.

Form, structure, colour – none of these should impose on us their consciousness, nor should they hide it.
Filip Roth is the alias of a Polish artist of a new generation who is living his everyday-life in Krakow.
His projects are the materialized vision of people relentlessly looking for their own „self“, without the aspiration to determine them. They are rather conceived as a subtle emphasis in order to enable to take the next step.
The hereby presented collection is not only original in its simplicity, but above all treats fashion as the space to interdisciplinary action, the quest after connections between different emanations of creativity.
