2009 A/W SEASON THEME
The symbolic use of elastic, anti-semantic prints, deconstructed leather and dirty cuts are an extension of previous collections. Komakino portray all these feelings through their design expression, and for AW09/10 they bring you an apocalyptic vision.
Komakino's menswear collection is inspired by a human sense of disillusion and loss. Shapes and colors are derived from architecture and buildings in Communist-era Soviet Union. Fascist buildings and Teutonic blocks represent the rigid schematic order that inexorably fell apart under its own weight.
Neo-Classicism is a fallacy predicated on the idea of Greece and Rome as superior civilizations structured on tenets of honor, justice and freedom. They were authoritarian slave societies and fascism and Neo-Classicism are inextricable, because aesthetics and politics feed of each other.
Monuments and architecture bear witness of past periods; they are the only visible things left to testify about the totalitarism and freedom dichotomy. Historic monuments struggle to cope with the ravages of time, much like a body refusing to fall into its natural decay.
Komakino use deconstructed jackets and trousers - some with applications and elastic bands - to show the contrast between their tailored finished and the garments unfinished details.
Stocked exclusively in Japan at Mid West. Prices start from £65 - £500
