fig. below: The women's collection 'Majestic Sci-Fi' combines ideas of past and future and can be described as coincidence of precise geometrical cuts with wild cyber-punk appeal. The men's collection '1920's Mugshots' is inspired by police photos of the 1920ies and was presented on models with beards. The colour collection 'Domestos Bleach' with denim-like coloring was developed from the idea 'bring fashion to hair'. Photos: (C) Stefan Dokoupil.
