All of these natural materials are manipulated and shaped to express the aesthetics and functionality that enhance our lives.

The Peacock From Ibiza

The modern peacock, but this peacock lives in Ibiza. Swedish duo Lazoschmidl brings a quirky satire of social hierarchy onto the runway. Even their choice of venue was deliciously satirical.

Each commuter in high end outerwear that makes even those who don’t fare well in the cold want to explore extended amounts of time in it.
