Michael Kampe

Today at the MODEFABRIEK I met Michael Kampe (finally in person) and had the chance to see this amazing collection.
A collection graduated from The Royal Academy Antwerp with honors, inspired by exploded view drawings of engineers and technicians. With this collection Kampe interprets the idea of explosions in cut, print, treatment of denim and styling of each silhouette. With this collection "Exploded View", Michael Kampe won the prestigious ITS#9 Diesel Award this year in Trieste. Recently he is working as a denim designer in Italy and on his own line KAMPE.

For now you can take a look at his work here but we'll hear from him in the future, for sure!

James Hillman

Meet James Hillman, upcoming menswear fashion designer from London.
He launched his A/W11 collection at MODEFABRIEK. The collection was showcased as part of NEXT & CUTTING EDGE program.





James created his A/W 2011/12 collection based on crude oil and the distillation process and showcases his distinct style and unique attention to detailling. For this collection he has based his fabrics on the tier of different types of oil produced by this process, matt, texture and wettness. Specific detailling such as disappearing jacket pockets and reindeer leather complete this very desirable collection. I would love to wear all of it!

Antony and the Johnsons - 'Swanlight' book

Yesterday I finally got it, the "Swanlights' book with artworks of Antony Hegarty.



Swanlights, the forthcoming album from New York-based collective Antony and the Johnsons, is something of a masterpiece. Not only is it perhaps the most emotionally wide-ranging collection of songs that frontman Antony Hegarty has ever penned, it’s also a philosophical treatise, beautifully contextualized by the 144-page art book that accompanies the CD release—a selection of which we exclusively preview today. The book collects 152 collages and drawings that the musician has been working on since 2007, a period in which he was writing and recording music for the new record as well as songs that would constitute 2009’s The Crying Light. Incorporating contemporary and archaic newspaper cuttings, aged photographs, illustrations and pages from books, which have been variously overpainted, scrawled upon and dissected. The works, says Hegarty, explore an “evolving relationship with the world around me, both in feeling more part of it in my own way and in an awareness that I have a real impact on it.” So in a series entitled “Cut Away the Bad,” he removes unpleasant imagery from photographs of catastrophes, or in works such as The Creek (For My Father) embellishes natural landscapes with ebullient illustrations. “It seemed audacious to me,” he says of the art book/album release concept, “but I ended up trying to do it because I had such conviction about the emotional resonance of the pictures. The landscapes felt very true to me.”

Jelena Kostic 'March'

This friday playing in Maastricht but I can't be there.

14.01. at 20h.30
Ainsi, Maastricht

Trailer


The inspiration is the revolt against the regime in Belgrade in 1991, that Jelena Kostic herself as 17-year old experienced. MARCH combines five dancers with diverse characters who experience an overwhelming desire for change. In their expression of protest, dismay and euphoria exist side by side. Harmony alongside chaos, determination mixed with powerlessness. MARCH lays bare a situation in which man is challenged to the core and the rebellion breaks loose.

'Time of my Life' the first single from the upcoming album 'Lupercalia'



Of the song, Wolf said: "'Time of My Life' is a song that I began writing at the end of a relationship in 2006 and then finished three years later during a temporary break-up in my current relationship. The new album has a direct narrative about love and optimism surviving through adversity and recession. I wanted to celebrate the love and hope I have found in the last few years."
