Email AppDark and brooding, Marko Mitanovski incorporated leather and latex looks in his SS ’16 collection at London Fashion Week. In collaboration with sculptors like Sonja Gajic, Ivan Stevanovic, Miki Lakobrija and Milan Stosic, abstract lines and shapes took form within the collection.
Combining genres of fantasy and horror, Mitanovski cited works by expressionist artist Munch’s classic “The Scream” painting and Alfred Hitchcock’s films like “The Birds” and “Psycho” as inspiration. As Bjork’s “Army of Me” boomed from the stereo, models took to the runway with sculpted creations. The designer specifically chose latex for the pliable quality of the fabric, which gave him more options to explore. Upon closer inspection, the dresses appear to have faces embedded within, created with an impeccable attention to detail.
Others appear to have been inspired by natural elements, like bubbling lava or fossils. With an emphasis on the theatrical aspects of fashion, Marko created a unique collection of statement items. Off the runway, we could totally envision starlets and bloggers alike sporting those lustworthy lace up leather leggings and bandage tights. In line with this season’s seventies trend, those luxurious leather capelets look fabulous for this winter. At the crossroads where art meets fashion, Marto Mitanovski appears to have bridged the gap between structure and fashion design.
