Unsung

Unsung SS16 travels back to a time of exploration and archaeological endeavour in the early 20th century. We investigated the photography of the early explorers at tropical & geological excavation sites and also researched further back into studies of ancient Greco-Roman,
Mayan and Egyptian civilisations.
 
This theme Is merged with a naive approach to fictional images from our nostalgic childhood memories of movies like Stargate, Indiana Jones and playing Tomb Raider on ps1 till long into the night.
 
The collection is the distorted and glitched reflection of this merged universe.
 
Unsung is searching for a lost connection to nature and the primal, by patching together our own abstract version of reality. The digital prints done in collaboration with print designer Thomas Lyngfeldt Skov, explore this theme and dig deep into a surreal, organic reality mixed with the modern and digital age.
 
The silhouettes are echoing a unisex vibe. The clothes are our vision of contemporary and daring, yet utilitarian clothes. They are not gender specific, each individual decides how to wear it.
 
The mix of textures and organic and synthetic fabrics echoes the theme together with the cut-up and fragmented nature of the garments. The colours are earthy but met with flashes of strong elemental hues and a surreal colour blend.
 
We want to remember to stay curious, explore and put things under a microscope instead of just swimming with the current.
