SABINA BRYNTESSON's austere proposal for SS13 @ VAUXHALL FASHION SCOUT

There is a shift to be observed in fashion, where designers have started to find inspiration in the past, back in the times where austerity was a way of living and simplicity was pledged for maintaining a certain order within society. From Marc Jacobs' pilgrim inspired shoes all the way to Michael Thompson's photographs, fashion turned its attention back to tradition, conventionality and strictness.

And so did Sabina Bryntesson in her latest SS13 collection. She found her inspiration in the 'strictness and conformity' of the uniform. I would even go as far as suggesting that the way she tried to illustrate a sense of community made me think alot of the Amish communities and their way of life. Artists like Marina Ambrovic and Janieta Eyre have also inspired the designer in creating her garments, creating another strong link to the exploration of rituals and identity. 


Simplicity in its purest forms but what an impressive collection and design statement.
