E-mail Designer

Julian Zigerli's AW13 Collection "Happy Tears" is inspired by the concept of Tears of Joy. These so called "Happy Tears" shoot through our veins like free flowing dopamine and leave us comfortably cringing. The prints, cuts and materials from this collection are reminiscent of the feeling of coming home and at the same time letting go. This intimately familiar laugh echoes through our memories. Prints made from magnetized iron powder and inked veins support the feelings of power, agitation and liberation. Electrifying layouts contrast the languorous high-‐quality materials and in turn deliver extreme comfort in winter through their practical functionality.
