Robert Wun II






Robert Wun's AW 2016 collection 'Rosary' has a wonderful softness about the fabric manipulation with enveloping, voluminous soft pleated forms. The photography by Nhu Xuan Hua perfectly reveals the full design dramatically highlighting the great shapes and design of the rear elevation. The diffused tone of Roberts monochrome designs cleverly play tricks on the eyes and alter the perceived volume and silhouette.

Yoni Lefevre







Yoni Lefevre has through an incredible project challenged our view of grandparents by interpreting them through their grandchildren's eyes and creating costumes based on this vision.
Yoni visited a primary school and asked the pupils to draw their grandparents. She then selected the drawings =of four children aged 10 - 11 years.  Yoni Lefevre explains that unlike the majority of the population, children do not see their grandparents as gray and "dried", but as a happy, full of life, people with passions, who make life colorful.
