Cottweiler SS16 film
Cottweiler get spiritual with antifashion show in Berlin. (In this video, the FKA twigs collaborators pay homage to the Hare Krishnas). This year, more and more designers are refusing to be confined by the fashion calendar, choosing to go offschedule to show in cities beyond London, Paris, Milan and New York or in other ways than the traditional (and lets admit it, slightly tired) runway. NEWGEN recipients and FKA twigs costume collaborators Cottweiler are the latest to go their own way after a successful presentation back in June for London Collections: Men, they travelled to Berlin to create a oneoff live installation. Staged in front of an intimate audience within the minimal tiled interior of new art and commerce space Trust Ltd, their performance openly referenced the Hare Krishnas, whose spirituality and uniformity underpinned the SS16 collection. For the piece, three models with shaved heads sat bathed in warm light and smoke, crosslegged on a square of terracotta carpet.
