LISA_PEK

MA collection AW 12/13 is about conflict of intellect & labour It’s about the conflict we live in.… future – past, technology – tradition, intellect – labour In a way we live in a world where intellectual work is losing its value and handicraft is winning on value because skills and knowledge are getting lost. It’s a very present conflict nowadays. But it’s even a universal conflict which every single person lives in. Lisa Pek was using details of workwear as well as of intellectual-worker’s garments (like the suit). She also built up her own symbolism with the use of handicraft gloves and creating a faces with them. Later on she abstracted these faces into silhouettes for lines and graphics in seams or even in knitwear-design. “The future of technology will not be the one who alienates us. It rather will be the one who brings us to ourselves.” Matthias Horx (future scientist) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ SPONSORED by SCHOELLER www.schoeller-wool.com Photography_ Panos Damaskinidis / www.panosdamaskinidis.com Photographer assistant_ Delphine Parodi Hair stylist_ Hiroyuki Nagaoka / bluespider22@gmail.com Model_ Caspar Boehme Bag by Volker Koch / volker.koch@gmail.co​m http://​showtime.arts.ac.uk/​VolkerKoch
