#hardcore95, works as the title, mood and a graphic for STILL ILL‘s FW 16/17 capsule collection. There’s a mid-90s general feel to the pieces and inspiration spans from Belgian gabbers and hardcore punk to the cult movie The Doom Generation, which turned 20 last year. A desire to mix the digital and a more manual approach translates into hand-drawn graffiti written directly on patterns, so they follow the shape of the garment and mix with the graphics, and a DIY section of hand-bleached denim with patches. Posters from  the seminal Gregg Araki movie are also cut up and pasted into collages to create prints for tunics and tops, the lo-fi mood of ripped and glued paper heightened by the extreme enlargement of small low quality digital images. As a whole a rougher and tougher look that nods to Stephen Sprouse and his luxe-punk aesthetic but with a cheaper, grungier 90s feel and a touch of digital reappropriation.

The collection is already available for press at Maximilian Linz PR even though more customized pieces will be presented in a few weeks. This will be the last STILL ILL capsule to have a seasonal denomination and will be on sale online during MFW.

STILL ILL’ SS16 collection, ‘Quentin Crisp at the Flaunt It Club’, inspired by a strange clip of  the iconic Stately Homo/Resident Alien mixing with The Club Kids in NY, is a graphic romp through clubbing and gender. We decided to shoot it in an easy, silly, slightly 90s way, a bit of a domestic rave where all the drugs are good and people dress up throwing on random make up and a fast, fun, ensemble. Can Easy-Rave-Chic be the season’s hot look? Enjoy.

ALL CLOTHES ANGELOS FRENTZOS SS 16

Uncovered Federation, Frentzos’ SS16 menswear collection, plays with familiar themes in ways that manage to be at the same time clever and romantic. Photographs of a vintage pilot’s overalls become an all-over print that enlarges the intricate lacing and details and mixes them with actual bondage straps in a virtual military straitjacket effect. Big patches with unfinished, raw, edges are attached with velcro straps, pants with uneven hems can be draped to the same length, straps and drawstrings make most pieces adjustable and give the wearer both comfort and power over the clothes. Even though they possess  a certain aggressive energy there is a softness about these clothes, like the romance of a long battle. With fabrics that look distressed by desert winds, jackets that grow siamese-twin doubles left hanging upside down like the coat-tails of an ancient military coat, sweaters built around holes, rope waistcoats that look more like macramè than japanese bondage, if there is a sense of rebellion and upheaval about them, it’s most certainly a revolt into style.

STILL ILL SS 16 : SAMORA CLUB

Samora Club is a happy post-atomic resort, a tropical rave-y club inspired by the homonymous song by italian avant-garde electro duo Krisma. Its pools are fulll of frolicking naked boys and sharks, kids diving in the sparkling water. And what’s more tropical than the atomic bomb? Nothing says ‘summer fun’ like an atomic explosion… At night the club takes on a kaleidoscopic rave feeling thanks to the dark and colorful images by model/photographer Sean Tofts, which actually feature STILL ILL’s FW15 collection, thus creating a sort of russian-doll-of-prints effect. A certain lightness pervades Samora Club, be it in the printed organza & chiffon pieces or the use of emoticons and graphics straight out of a teenager’s iPhone 4. So come to Samora Club next Summer! It’s 50% off with this coupon!

I love teaching because, at best, it’s a way to share what I know and help young people find their own voice. Sometimes to get the results I want I have to push through my own personal vision, sometimes I’m rewarded with projects that have such a personal identity and consistency that they go beyond what i was originally hoping for. I think styling is a bit like directing, you have to create characters and stories that are somehow believable, if you manage to do that then they almost live their on lives.. I totally understand Simon Foxton’s point of view when he said he created a character, dressed him and then abandoned him, sending him on set, if the looks you create make sense they almost breathe on their own. Which is what I love about this student project, it has such a personal and consistent voice it makes me love even the bits I normally wouldn’t approve of. it makes me believe, and smile, and those things aren’t easy to come by.
