Valjda zato što je iz Japana. Nekako, imam utisak da na tom ostrvu gravitacija ne važi. Inače, jedan od omiljenih materijala Maiko Takede, sve sa senkom, zvukom, vetrom i matematičkim elementima. Nemojte da joj govorite kako je nešto lepo, jer njoj to nije dovoljno. Maiko zahteva razlog i logiku - a na putu od haosa do reda nekako se već stigne i do lepote. Ovaj diplomac Saint Martins koledža, koja je šeširdžijski zanat pekla je kod čuvenog Stephena Jonesa, voli ekstravagantnost ovog odevnog predmeta - odeća manje ili više (mora da) prati liniju tela, a za šešire - granice ne postoje. Inspiraciju pronalazi na neočekivanim mestima, od Miroovog slikarstva, do opere Einstein on the Beach, čiji futurizam kanališe kroz svoju diplomsku kolekciju Atmospheric Reentry. Načinjeni od neobičnih materijala, njeni šeširi zaista preispituju značenje iz rečnika - trepereće jato folija od akrilika daće vam jednu novu auru, produžetak tela, a bogami i duha.
Pravi modni pioniri uvek su beskompromisni. Maiko Takeda ne priznaje na pola, ili buljite u monitor u čudu, ili je obožavate. Angažovana moda, sa kojom ste stalno u dijalogu, aktivan učesnik a ne samo neka pasivna jelka za kićenje. Valjda zato i ne čudi što je baš Bjork odabrala komade iz kolekcije Atmospheric Reentry za svoj scenski nastup. Iako pogrešno shvaćen od većine površnih holivudskih medija, čuvenog labuda ćemo zasigurno još dugo pamtiti. Zamoliću da se Kanye+Margiela sklone, na Tumblr su stigli Bjork i Maiko Takeda!

I guess it's because she grew up in Japan. Somehow, I've always had this impression that laws of gravity don't apply there. Speaking of which, gravity being one of favorite materials of Maiko Takeda, along with shadow, sound, wind and mathematical elements. For Maiko, pretty is not nearly enough, she demands logic and reason behind everything - and somewhere on the way from complete entropy to crystallized structure comes beauty. Working for the master milliner Stephen Jones, she learned to appreciate the freedom of extravagance - where clothes are (more or less) bound to follow the human silhouette, hats know no limits. Her inspiration comes from most unexpected places, from Joan Miró's paintings to Philip Glass' opera Einstein on the Beach, whose futurism is directly linked to Takeda's latest collection Atmospheric Reentry. Unusual structures made of unexpected materials, her hats really challenge the meaning from the dictionary - this aura of flickering acrylic foils is extension of the body, but also the soul.
True (fashion) pioneers have to be uncompromising. Always searching for intensity, Maiko Takeda rejects half-heartedness - you either stare with a huge question mark over your head, or fall head over heels when you see her hats. In both cases, you'll drool over your keyboard, because Maiko Takeda leaves little space for indifference. It is engaged fashion that requires a constant dialogue, where you have to be an active participant, rather than some passive Christmas tree begging to be decorated. No wonder Bjork has picked couple of pieces from Atmospheric Reentry for her current tour. Still swinging between best and worst ever Academy Awards red carpet gowns list, the infamous swan dress is something that will be long remembered, that one's for sure. Kanye+Margiela please move away from Tumblr, Bjork and Maiko Takeda have arrived!

Zanimljivo, hvala što si nam predstavila nešto ovako ludo i originalno! To već izlazi iz okvira odjevnog predmeta i prelazi u skulpturu! WOW! Ilina
ReplyDeleteE zbog ovog ja jako volim tvoj blog! Uvek pronađeš nešto sjajno i daleko van granica uobičajenog. A njene kreacije, pa definitivno već deset minuta ne mogu da odvojim pogled od njih! Intrigantno je možda najbolji opis:)
ReplyDeletespadam u grupu ''obozavam'' :)
ReplyDeleteThis is amazing and Bjork is such an inspiring person and a true trend-setter, I must say. Even though at first she is seen as ridiculous, sooner or later people start copying her.
