Roei Derhi, the founder of the house, says that digital fashion let's people fashionably express themselves in the most creative way.




Morphogenesis

Her project „Morphogenesis“ is set in an alternate reality characterized by environmental disasters and social injustice. In this world, biohackers and designers band together to use biofashion as a political design movement. 

Bea combines natural and digital environment through incorporating living organisms, computational design and the development of compostable algae leather, and sees in that combination the potential for a new framework for the fashion industry.

Bea Brücker is a multidisciplinary designer, researcher and educator with focus on fusing biowear and technologies. She was part of the Youth Fashion Summit in Copenhagen, a two-year sustainability programme launched by the UN Global Compact, the Copenhagen Fashion Summit and the Global Fashion Agenda.

Modern Hermits

‘Modern Hermits’ grew out of questioning the social perception of uniformity. People’s excessive pursuit of social normality leads to a lack of self-expression, as well as their actual hobbies, desires, or habitual ways of dressing. 


The purpose of this project is to design a new way of living that could fit into the post-pandemic ‘new world order’. The idea of ‘new suit’ subverts the traditional tailoring and redefines the office dress code.

Siqi Fang is a menswear designer based in London. She mainly focuses on continually pushing the boundary of fashion thinking and system thinking. Her design approach is often unconventional and innovative. Siqi proposes a new attitude to the physical body through a fashion lens.

Her practice explores innovation through garments, pattern making and the human body. The work aims to challenge the traditional vision of garments by rethinking and recreating.

Fashioning Acts of Masculinity

“Fashioning Acts of Masculinity” is a body of work calling out and commenting on the material culture that has
allowed systems of harm to persist, and offers a new, more positive way to overcome them.

In order to break away from pre-existing trails of discourse, Blythe is using entirely pre-used, male-coded materials in hope to reconfigure these male-memoirs in order to reconfigure how we understand the troublesome history of masculine behaviour.

Emma Blythe is an American designer who is currently researching menswear through a feminist gaze. For Blythe it is impossible as a woman to design menswear without responding to current conversations surrounding gender politics and identity.

Her work is rooted within her own experiences with gender inequality and expression. Aware of the power of emotional memory and the need for slow, sustainable fashion, she looks for ways to repurpose old and used items, and subvert their original purpose in order to re-imagine a positive future with items from a recognizable past.

The designer uses various up-cycling techniques and methods but the main and most original technique that has been developed by Apocahlipse is “Fabric-Mâché”.

The fabric development is following the storyline of Apocahlipse. Just like cordyceps transforms dead non-organic matter to alive organi, Apocahlipse takes what is considered waste, and gives it a new life, a new purpose.

A love letter to the working hands of Savile Row

Bondareva's work is a form of hedonistic architecture; structurally elaborate statement pieces which seek to puzzle, challenge the imagination, and bring the wearer pleasure. 

Having spent her placement year at “Gieves & Hawkes”, she became obsessed with the craftsmanship of the devoted tailors, traditional techniques including pad stitching and military embroidery, and decided to dedicate her debut work to their mastery.

Karina Bondareva graduated from Central Saint Martins with a L’Oreal prize winning collection entitled “A love letter to the working hands of Savile Row”. 

By recreating Thom Browne's icon gown for Cardi B out of just 500 sheets of A4 red paper in a week, Bondareva became one of the winners of, Vogue's Met Gala challenge. 

COMMON SENSE is DEAD

Curiosity and challenging the status quo are reflected by his upcycling collection „COMMON SENSE is DEAD“. The statement wear is an expression of ones freedom to choose his or her style detached from any societal prejudices or overruled mindsets.

„Expression has no gender. Everybody should wear the style or color she or he wants to. No shame is freedom.“ Driven by his wish to be part of a less shameful world he creates wearable art to shamelessly express ourselves.

Philipp Kühn is a German artist and designer based in Cologne. His works combine the extravagance of high fashion with the nonchalance of street style. By doing so he creates unique pieces ready to wear at both seasons, day and night. Elements like construction side chains, straps and flashy colors giving his looks a playfulness and roughness which remind us on kinky moments we all wish for or already had in life.
