Lame God

PROM BALLS MARK THE SYMBOLIC TRANSITION OF OUR YOUTH FROM THE CLASSROOM TO THE CHALLENGES OF ADULT LIFE. THE YOUNG GIRLS AND BOYS OF TODAY ORGANIZE LOUD PARADES, OUTFITTED WITH DISTINCTIVE ATTRIBUTES OF SHOW-OFF LUXURY: LADEN DRESS, EXPENSIVE CARS AND BEHAVIOR THAT CONVEYS A MESSAGE: I CAN DO IT ALL. FOR SOME THIS IS THE BEGINNING OF THE LONG JOURNEY TO THEIR COVETED SUCCESSFUL FUTURE, FOR OTHERS – A CELEBRATION OF THE FREEDOM OF CHOICE THAT COMES ALONG WITH ADULTHOOD; THERE ARE THOSE WHO TAKE PART SIMPLY TO MEET THE PUBLIC’S EXPECTATIONS, TOO.
THE COLLECTION’S GENERAL LINE IS NOT STRICTLY BOUND TO THE ACTUAL DRESS CODE OF PROM NIGHTS, NEVERTHELESS, IT TRACES ITS EVOLUTION OVER THE YEARS. AN AIR OF FORMALITY IS ACHIEVED THROUGH THE REFERENCE TO THE MEN’S SUIT AND THE BOLERO JACKET, AS WELL AS BY THE CHOICE OF MATERIALS – THE COLLECTION IS MADE ALMOST ENTIRELY FROM SILK AND OTHER FINE FABRICS THAT COMBINE SILK WITH WOOL AND COTTON IN BRIGHT, LIGHT AND LIVELY COLOURS.
AS WITH LAME GOD’S PREVIOUS COLLECTIONS, THE INDIVIDUAL ITEMS OF INITIATION CAN BE COMBINED FREELY WITH EACH OTHER BUT THE BLAZER IS CONCEIVED TOGETHER WITH THE TRACKSUIT TROUSERS, AND THE BOLERO JACKET GOES WITH THE PARTY MINI DRESS. THE FINE OVERSIZED STRAIGHT SHIRTS AND THE NEARLY CLOCHE BELL-BOTTOMS ARE AN ALLUSION TO STREETMANIA, THE EMBLEMATIC SOFIA BRAND FROM THE 1990S, AND RAVE CULTURE IN A PLAY BETWEEN STREETWEAR AND THE ILLUSION OF CLASSICAL CHIC THAT HAS ALREADY BECOME TYPICAL FOR THE BRAND.
THE TEEN PARTY FEEL IS COMPLEMENTED BY THE ORGANIC COTTON T-SHIRTS AND SWEATSHIRTS WITH AUTHORED PRINTS FROM THE DESIGNER’S PERSONAL HIGH SCHOOL ARCHIVE – A NEW APPROACH FOR LAME GOD. SAME AS THE COLLECTION’S SHIRTS THEY COME IN UNISEX, OR MEN’S AND WOMEN’S CUTS.
INDIVIDUAL COPIES OF THE MULTIFUNCTIONAL PARACORD ACCESSORIES, BELTS AND KEY CHAINS ARE WOVEN BY HAND IN THE COLLECTION’S GENERAL COLOUR SCHEME. OUR FAVORITE COMBINATIONS ARE BRIGHT RED/PINK, RED/PURPLE, GREEN NEON/BLACK.
