OBSCUR (オブスキュ) 2010 A/W SEASON THEME
"A dark opulent society, where you own what you wear"
The Obscur A/W10 collection is another morbid encounter between energy, abstraction and our souls.
The materials meet and observe your body, to become one. The raw outer dead shells of the pieces consist of cotton, wool, cashmere and thick raw leather, which keep the living from disintegrating momentarily.
The Obscur naturally coloured fibres keep your energy from draining by avoiding yourself to be exposed to the world. All the leathers are being washed from their dyes and chemical processing, in order to get closer to a state of solemn austerity & sterile manifestation.
The AW10 line includes loose collar and sleeve ends, which can be taken off, or on, to create a unique silhouette and provide desirable shelter to your skin. The signature raw edges are often incorporated in the designs, to allow for a smoother transition of layering when combining different garments.
Facets of the inspiration for this collection were drawn upon the work of Austrian artist Gunter Brüs. This man is a true lover of the obscure, dark and the profusely morbid.
Obscur AW10 : "a dense feeling web of exterior layers which imbed the bearer as a protected capsule in our society".
OBSCUR (オブスキュ)
Designer
Richard Soderberg
Obscur is built on a self-evident principle regarding the design - a garment's true value can only be fully recognized when it is being worn. Designer Richard Soderberg creates the clothes after absorbing the spirit of the dark and misty landscapes of his home country. His deep love of dark scandinavian music is also of great inspiration and has been translated into the garments.
Obscur is not about being drawn to extremes but rather an urge to refine classic silhouettes to perfection. Honest and powerful expression reveals the true design behind the garments so minimal styling is required. Achieving a pure esthetic can be difficult as there are many elements to consider.
Richard is to some extent trying to create all-round key garments that can easily worn by different personalities to create the perfect balance of an outfit. The world is constantly changing but Obscur's raw and straightforward view on beautiful garments however not something that can be compromised on. A raw and naked finish is often used to expose the handcraft within the garment. Heavy and stiff materials create beautiful armour on the outside with a soft inner core. Treated and hand-altered leather is commonly used as it is in authentic traditional scandinavian clothes.
Obscur is a language for the creator a language intended to express a certain view of the world and a reaction. A reaction to the impureness and inconsistency that surrounds us.
