ICON CHRISTINAEXIE
ICON is a high fashion woman’s street-wear
collection for the Fall/Winter of 2013. The collection is based on the concept that sound creates vibration and energy to form matter. From this, essentially derived from the notion of the beginnings of Earth, Religious and Scientific connotations arise. The concept then delves into a pool of paradoxical ideas, ranging from Christian Iconography, Religious and historic dress, to scientific facts that atoms bond together through strong electrostatic forces. The research gathered is then filtered to develop aesthetic impressions, which are then synthesized into clear design features and details. The Religious dress element of heavy robes and high necklines are then juxtaposed with detailed printed shirts to emulate bonded atoms. Each garment is created from natural occurring elements such as wool, cotton, leather and metal to depict what formulates Earth. These garments of earthy tones symbolize soil and daylight, with some in black signifying darkness, and a splash of blood red embodying living creatures. They are then stacked upon each other, with multiple textures and hues to form ten modern pious looking outfits. Each outfit is refined, clean and modest, with a sophisticated sharpness. Most striking on a confident mature woman who desires to make a statement on the streets during her stroll to work. ICON is a collection for the everyday stylish woman, to throw on and off, to be comfortable in and ultimately to wear on a daily basis without being too delicate.
