Did you mention the last few months that you’ve been tired? Tired from the news, even of THE FASHION news?? It’s been like you’ve already known all about it and doesn’t care anymore… So do we all. Same thing with other things... Otherwise, we have to keep all of our magic together and make another step into the future! Nothing could break our aims and ambitions to move forward… Especially after the final CHANEL collection, we just can’t give up! So… Here is the fresh and really super luxurious and heroically provided by our contributors with our pathetic print options - INSPO! well known as Just Magazine. All this time Just Magazine was the gallery for the fairest talents and courageous people who have entrusted their hard work to us, although it maybe wasn’t worth it. But! This is still true, this is still real and this is all your merit. Or fault. Love and pain shouldn’t be walking hand on hand, this is insane. If this suicide note will glorify this semi-print creature I will kill myself once again ) Just kidding, kid. This is 2019! Finally, or who knows, we’re all different, courageously made of all the same shitty brilliant space dust. Something happened with my moon I feel, should immediately check the horoscopes. Could you even imagine the totally solid humanity with the same interests and aims? Sounds like not even a never-never, but absolutely unreal and even unhealthy thing. You have to trust me. I’m the inventor of nothing. Meanwhile, nothing means anything, everything means nothing and no one understands. No one cares and no one is stupid. If we’re all equally evil and good, we’re wishing you to find your balance, cause the extermination of any part of yourself is going to exterminate your persona in general, so please do carefully to yourself and your folks. The only exception is your intuition if you’ve got such. Don’t get messy with your good if you believe it too much. Improve, improve… Improve your style… Improve yourself and anything you can reach for...I’m the beast, I’m the monster!… This is the constant feeling that you are not the one who decide… And this not an impression of the black mirror show, but seems I’m not the only one who suffering or at least who have even thought about it. If your heart is delicate, but that does not mean it needs to be fortified. Now there’s no point in placing the blame. And you should know I suffer the same if I lose you. My heart will be broken. Love is a bird, she needs to fly. Let all the hurt inside of you die, you’re frozen. When your heart’s not open. Fly to where and to what… Is this mentally legal…? Not to hurt anyone while flying could you please do so… I guess it’s too late for me for the new beginning and to fly in any case as well so I’d rather be closer to the end. When my past should be gone but it’s just stronger than the aims I have. Turning the pages I used to hang on to I was young and I have changed my mind. And I’m leaving everything behind, new beginning again... a little bit closer to the end. For

e g a s es

the good times and the bad times, this issue is no more than a mirror. The mirror of your graceful

lifetime and the wonderful work. If you suddenly lose, just start this day again and make it so much

fucking great cause this is your game. Hope nobody will read this to the very end and this is not the lifetime tutorial, we’re sorry for the rough expressions and confusing thoughts.

So… sustainability is not my goal. I’ve been lost and found so many times by myself and only. And if you haven’t had a crazy friend until now, here you are. Swipe left and go on... Peace!

MICHAEL JOHANSSON

INTERVIEW

THE SWEDISH ARTIST

www.michaeljohansson.com

Hi Michael, So... have you got a lego constructor in your childhood?) Tell us briefly about yourself and how did you discover your interest in art? Hi! I was originally born in Sweden, but since I few years back I live and work in Berlin. And even though my main focus is still making shows and commission within Europe, I’ve had the opportunity to exhibit my work in most parts of the world throughout the years. I have always felt an attraction to art, even from a very early age. Of course, I didn’t know back then that I would follow the call of Fine Arts, even though that’s probably what I would’ve told you if you had asked me at the time. Starting out, I had a very classical view on art and I sometimes wonder what the person I was at the very start of my studies would have thought encountering the work I make today. I am convinced

that my response would have been moderate. And yes, Lego was something I used to devote a lot of time to growing up, not necessarily following the instructions that came with the box. What is your current installation? At the moment I’m installing an outdoor commission at a new sports arena in Gothenburg, Sweden. It will differ a bit from earlier pieces I’ve made. And since I’m trying out something new, there has been lots of challenges along the way. What kind of magic did you use to compact everything into a perfect square shape? Oh, its a mix of gravity, positive thinking, and the occasional help from some glue. And a lot of trial and error.

From time to time I do try to follow a certain order, but I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think my home lives up to the general idea of how Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m supposed to live from the perspective of my works. It is more of an ongoing interplay between order and chaos. But my home tends to become emptier for each work I finish . It happens quite often that I have something in my bookshelf that magically finds it way into one of my pieces instead. Everyday scenarios inspire me tremendously. I have always enjoyed spotting all kinds of irregularities or patterns in my surroundings. So many things that one passes by, normally not paying attention to, but that for some reason suddenly stands out. It can be a parking lot filled with cars in the same color, or the

"EVERYDAY SCENARIOS INSPIRE ME TREMEN DOUSLY"

Is there a perfect order for any stuff at your home? Do you compare things in your everyday life?

pants you are wearing are in the exact same shade as the chair you just sat down in. Well, basically anything you encounter in your daily life but never really paid attention to before. Something ordinary disguised in an extraordinary way. How do you think technology changes and social media is affecting art nowadays? I think it effects art the same way as it effects life in general. It both brings us closer and further apart. Both making it easier and more difficult to communicate.

I'VE LEARNED NEVER TO PLAN TO FAR AHEAD

"NOWADAYS INSPIRATION CAN STRUCK ME WHEN I LEAST EXPECTS IT." What your installations aim to feel or what ideas did it realize? The interpretation of the work will, and must always, vary from person to person. Everyone will bring something different to the dialogue with the work. That is also why I’ve chosen to include ordinary items in my works, things people have a relationship to beforehand. But the most important thing I actively hope that people will bring away from a meeting with my work is the rediscovery of things you neglect after seeing them too often. Things so ordinary that you just don’t notice any more. I know that I constantly need to be reminded about this myself, appreciating art by other artists which tricks me into looking at things with a new set of eyes. I hope my art can offer this to others as well.

What is your favorite work of yourself? One of my favourite work is still the installation Ghost II that I made in the summer of 2009. It was the second time I created a work using only white objects, and even though I had a vision of how I thought it would work in the space, the result surpassed my expectations. And that is also one of the main reasons why I enjoy creating works on site, that it is more or less impossible to predict the final result before you are there. Your artworks are mostly so.. global! What challenges did you face when designing and producing the installations? It certainly depends on the situation. Some works I produce in my studio, which does make the production easier, but it’s

sometimes harder to find focus since I usually work on multiple projects at the same time. When I do a site specific while traveling, it might be easier to find focus, but on the other hand you are handed other challenges instead. In some ways you have to rediscover your own production method, within the new context, and find new lines of production, sourcing material etc. I initially normally have a vague plan for how I imagine the work to end up, but that always changes during the process. Working with objects that have more or less irregular shapes means a lot of surprises while trying to fit them within a limited space. So I’ve learned never to plan to far ahead. And that is also one of the main reasons why I still enjoy creating works on site, that it is more or less impossible to predict the final result before you are there.

What fascinates you about the art world today and what are your main inspirations?

Our Autumn-Winter 2018 edition of Just Magazine is about the guilty pleasures, do you have any?

Nowadays inspiration can struck me when I least expects it. When spotting a certain item at a second hand store that have this specific shape or color that catch my attention. Or walking by a building whose facade offers a perfect canvas for a site specific work. Some of these ideas might lead to something, and some just remains ideas.

Oh, I do have a quite a few. Especially when it comes to bad sit-coms, allowing me to wind down after a busy day. Basically any show that offers a brief moment of entertainment, without requiring too much back. But maybe I’ve already said too much? isn’t the whole part about guilty pleasures that you can allow yourself keeping them a secret?

And the same happens when I visit an exhibition. Sometimes you expect greatness and you feel nothing. And then there are those moments when you don’t expecting anything, and your whole world is turned upside down. Is art - your money profession or did you work at some job? Yes, I’ve been exclusively working as an artist ever since I took my master degree back in 2005. And today I also wouldn’t find time doing anything else besides this. Even though there are other things I would’ve loved trying out as well.

Any advices for the beginners in art? Ever since I first started working as an artist I felt it was more important to create the kind of art you feel you want to create, rather than trying to make the kind of art you think a certain gallery, or a contemporary context, would require. So my advice would probably be to find the context that fits your work rather than alter your work to fit a certain context.

Hi Aleksandra, tell us briefly about yourself and how did you discover your interest in fashion design? Fashion design was my dream from a child, rummaging in grandmother’s wardrobes as a little girl, then art classes, drawing courses, I finally started studying at the Academy of Fine Arts in Łódź - once a textile city in Poland. Each step slowly brought me closer to the goal. There, I learned everything about the construction and materials, and thanks to the support of lecturers in the design studio, I could find my style. In 2017, I graduated from the Academy with the best diploma collection, which later found itself in the final of the international competition for young designers Lodz Young Fashion Award. Another DAZED collection dedicated to the autumn/winter season of 2018, thanks to the invitation of the organizers, premiered

at Odessa Fashion Week, to enter the market in London a moment later. I had a great start, now I want to grow with each new collection. What does fashion mean to you and what has been your biggest achievement in this direction so far? Fashion is for me a way of expressing myself, telling stories about emotions, is a journey through human minds that hide emotionally complicated memories and personal perception of the external world of each of us. The biggest achievement for me at the moment was the transition to the London market, which opened a lot of doors for me, both in London and New York, thanks to this my collections are in many top magazines and are dressed by talents like, for example, Olly Alexander, or Morgan Saint.

What is the concept behind your latest collection and how would you describe your brand DNA? The last collection shows two natures of a woman, on the one hand a romantic, delicate girl, hence a lot of flounces, girlish cuts, lace dresses, gloves, but on the other hand, also the strength of character, expressed in heavy materials like leather, wool, scaled flounces in the coat, assortments that reveal the body. Collections are based on emotions, stories and contrasts. Despite the momentum of life, the weight of character strength, the avoidance of feelings and constant expectations, I try to show the gentler side of man, contrasted with the current times. Everyone can be who he wants, live as he wants, he doesn’t have to prove anything and this is beautiful.

THE LAST COLLECTION SHOWS TWO NATURES OF A WOMAN Is there a type of person you have in mind when designing your clothes? Who is your dream client to dress? When I start designing I see a delicate girl with subtle features, without makeup, in a natural landscape, is like a canvas, on which I can apply layers of fabric. I wonder what she is like, where she goes, who watches she, I invent a story. I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have a dream client, everyone is unique and everyone is always makes me happy What challenges did you face when designing and producing your collections? The greatest challenge for me is always to fit in time. The fashion market will not wait, and there are so many things that can be done and which also come with time. Each stage of the collection preparation is time-consuming, requires a lot of work and commitment, however it is amazing and gives a lot of satisfaction.

"I TURN ON JAZZ MUSIC, MUTE THE PHONE AND ENJOY THE PEACE" 60

What techniques and materials did you use for the FW18 collection and why? The DAZED collection autumn / winter 2018 is based mainly on wool and leathers, contrasted with lace, satin and chiffon, in various forms, from coats with ruffles, through jackets, corsets, long leather gloves, to lace dresses, bodysuits, skirts. Everything is gently connected with each other. The choice of materials was simple out of passion for the outerwear, hence the excellent quality of wool and leather, satin adds glamor, and lace breaks the heavy nature of the collection. What fascinates you about the art world today? Which designers or artists have been the most influential to you?

Who do you see yourself collaborating with from within the visual arts and fashion spheres? I cooperate with amazing people at every photo session. Depending on the collection, along with my stylist Karol Młodziński, we are looking for the most interesting young talents – photographers, make-up artists. This is how the two versions of the DAZED campaign were created, telling two different stories, the first created by Lola Banet, the second by the Tatiana + Karol photographers duo. Our Autumn-Winter 2018 edition of Just Magazine is about guilty pleasures, do

you have any? Oh yes ! I love to start the day with a cup of large black coffee and I will always find time for it. And when I don’t have to leave anywhere, I like to lie in the bath for hours and browse magazines, I turn on jazz music, mute the phone and enjoy the peace. Any advices for the beginners in fashion? I think the most important thing is not to give up, it’s not an easy occupation, but faith in your own abilities and hard work bring results.

There are many talented people in the world, I love to observe what is happening now, discover new talents, are very inspiring, they give me a kick to work. Then, for example, we work together on the campaign and amazing things are coming out. And one of the most important idols for me is the stylist Robbie Spencer, whose works exerts the greatest influence on me. I also appreciate the stylist of brands: Gucci, Alexander McQueen, Proenza Schouler and Simone Rocha.

What is your next collection be like? The new collection ERRATIC spring/summer 2019 is a perverse reference to kitsch. Which is conceived as a piece of mediocre value, at the same time full of splendor, which flatter has to popular tastes and norms of society. Bold and contrasting silhouettes of the collection were designed with the 70s in mind, when kitsch triumphs, being consciously used by prominent artists. The reference to this is, among others sophisticated cuts, hand-made ornaments using zircons or glass pearls, which traditionally have been hand-sewn to fabrics. Deliberate selection

of highly conspicuous materials with a tasteful form, it also underlines the misleading impression that kitsch has on recipients. It is a call to reflect on the hasty evaluation of the work, which over time can be assessed in a completely different way than the original way. It shows our weakness, the imperfection of a man who is unable to be consistent and it bends under the weight of the standards imposed on it.

INTERVIEW

INDI KOHEN LUMER photographer

Tell us briefly about yourself and how did you discover your interest in photography? I’m 23 years old, I was born in Buenos Aires, Argentina, and I am the owner of a audiovisual production company called CLAN, alongside my partner, Delfina Seefeld. I am finishing up my “Diseño de Imagen y Sonido” (“Audiovisual Design”) degree at the University of Buenos Aires (UBA) and have also studied at Andy Goldstein Creative Photography School. Since my father has always had a passion for photography, I always had access to photo and video cameras. At the age of 13 years old I started taking photos of my family and friends just for fun. Until I realized that it was something I really enjoyed and wanted to make it a bigger part of my life than it already was. My mom, who is a plastic artist, also has a big part in my artistic side. Since I can remember, I‘ve been to art and culture museums, and lived in houses full of art. My mom always said “those elements of art and design will be in your mind forever”. A phrase that inspires and reminds me of where I come from. What is your current inspiration? Watching other photographer’s work is the first thing that inspires me. Photos on the web, online magazines, Instagram or www. models.com. My favorite part of this is watching the “diary” or personal photos of fashion photographers and seeing different faces, landscapes, scenes, cultures and countries. Visual arts also inspire me. It can be a museum to a book to a drawing or even to a simple postcard. Travelling is also an important aspect for my work. I would say it is even a must for me as a photographer. Having the possibility to see something totally unknown with my own eyes I think that is what inspires me the most. Sometimes when you live in the same place for many years, and have your daily routine your head gets used to it. That’s why its so important to step outside your comfort zone as a photographer. I still love to find beauty within my routine. Either that being shooting photos in a place you really know, as well as shooting a close friend or known person from an intimate position. How would you describe your overall aesthetic? Currently, I`m exploring different artistic paths, so I can´t define myself in one way yet. What I know for sure is that I love portraits, analogic photography and spontaneous images. I think that I create “clean” and delicated images naturally. I love close-ups, long exposure, macro, over-exposed, blured and underwater shoots, to create images we could never see in ¨real life¨ with our own eyes. And give the photos a magical touch.

MY MOM ALWAYS SAID "THOSE ELEMENTS OF ART AND DESIGN WILL BE IN YOUR MIND FOREVER"

"GOOD VIBES IN A SHOOT ARE ESSENTIAL" 88

Where do you live and how does it influence your work? I live in Buenos Aires, Argentina. But I also had the opportunity to travel abroad a lot. In Argentina there are lots of beautiful brands and fashion designers who are really talented. We have a unique sense of fashion, with cool local codes. If you know how to work with them, you can grow a lot in the local industry. I love my country and I would love to grow here and reach the top brands. The city itself has a lots of

What qualities do you look for and/or admire in the people you work with? Kindness is the most important quality for me. Good vibes in a shoot are essential. I always try to make everyone feel comfortable doing their work when I organice the production or in personal shoots. I disslike the agression and people who do not connect with the rest of the team. Usually, photography is thought as something individual, but in the fashion

interesting locations to shoot, and all over the country, you can easily find diversity of styles, amazing landscapes and people. What was your biggest achievement so far? Since I did my first payed job five years ago, every production I had was a new achievement. Each goal achieved precedes a new challenge, in a positive way. When I see that I reached a certain

world everything is as a team. The team is what makes the project a success or a failure. Each member contributes in some way. Most importantly, I respect the work of others and their artistry. How would you like to see your career as a photographer evolving in future? I would love to work internationally, travelling a lot and getting to know

level, I challenge myself a bigger one. Until now, I reached several top local brands I like (such as Jazmin Chebar, Kosiuko, Oklan, 47 Street, and others), as well as international brands, and being able to work with them was reaching a personal achievement so far. When I think about my possible future achievements I think of becoming a teacher. I learn a lot from my teachers, they always inspired me with proyects and helped me getting inspirations.

different stylists, photographers, art directors, makeup artists and models around the world. Most of all, I would like to finally develop my own style. I would love to publish a photo book and teach photography to inspirate new upcoming artists. And never stop learning, never stop creating.

"EVERYTHING IS SO QUICK"

How do you think technology changes and social media is affecting art and fashion nowadays? I think that the change we see today is a positive one. Everyone can connect with each other around the world, get in touch with artists you would never imagine. Brands nowadays need more and more content to upload online, fashion is reached in many new different ways and is always renewing itself. As seasons are running faster there are lots of new fashion workers in the industry every day. So thats a possitive point, there is lot of work out there, but also a lot of talented â&#x20AC;&#x153;competitionâ&#x20AC;?. Online I found lots of talented artist every day, I think it as a possitive tool to show your work in todays world: being watched by anyone who finds you its amazing and its crazy how much can happen by connecting online. Most opportunities star there. It is amazing how much knowledge we can get from the web. But, getting to know so much information can be frustrating, because you see everything out there as a far far away achivement, almost impossible to reach. Because everything is so quick, it seems that those photos/works/proyects where made easily, but everything takes lots of time and hard work. It is important to use de technology in a smart and conscious way and not to over use it. We can use it as a tool to search for inspiration and learn from artists. But it is essential to know when to stop watching and star creating.

What is your favourite work of yourself? If I had to choose my favourite work it would be the nude series. Mostly because of the shooting itself, its a unique experience and the level of intimacy is higher than other shootings. So for me, they have something special. Who would you most like to collaborate with from within the visual arts and fashion spheres? Flying high, I would love to work with Harley Weir, Lea Colombo, Angelo Pennetta, Petra Collins, Carlota Guerrero, Matteo Montanary, Ryan Mcgilney or Jamie Hawkesworth. My list is much bigger but those are my favourites. And I can think lots of stylist, filmmakers and models too, but the list would be infinite. Our Autumn-Winter 2019 edition of Just Magazine is about the guilty pleasures, do you have any? I think everyone has them, because in the end, and as humans we are always searching for pleasure. Its about crossing limits. I can think it as eating a cake while you are trying to get a “fit life” could be one, eating tasty food is a pleasure for me, but not always in a guilty way. Unfortunately, it is something that we cant avoid in our generation. Guilt is tied to eating, mainly because of physical aspect and not health. Another pleassure for me its buying clothes and accesories. I love going shopping, but as everything else, in excess is not that cool. What concepts will you be exploring through your work next? I have many ideas for a future personal fashion editorial, but I would like to shoot a big group of models toghether, and also try to match and mix photography with plastic arts. I’m mostly working on that. In the digital era we are not that used to printing our photos. And when you do, you realice its beautiful to see your photos in paper and having the opportunity to create more from your own creations.

INTERVIEW NADYA DISA

"I REFUSE TO BELIEVE THAT WE DRESS JUST BECAUSE"

Who is Nadya Disa Kusumo? Tell us briefly about yourself, your creative background and story as a designer. Hi! I’m Nadya and I am still a third year student at RMIT University’s Bachelor of Fashion Design. It might sound cliché but as far as I could remember, I never had any other ‘dream job’ aside from being a fashion designer! You know when you were six and your teacher would ask you what would you want to be when you grow up? Others answered doctors & astronauts, but for me, it has always been a fashion designer. I don’t even know why since I wasn’t the most fashionable kid in my kindergarten (and still isn’t in that case) but I really enjoy drawing clothes. I paint when I was in high school, but it was when I discovered I could make my painting a reality that I truly fell in love with fashion design.

What is the key idea behind your latest collection? The collection is a commentary on the personal perception of being trapped in one’s own daily routine. It is that feeling of being confined by your own self-enforced parameters. Sleeve can be detached, jackets are reversible, hems can be shortened— this idea of a single base article of clothing that can be build up or stripped down with additional pieces. These elements exist to encourage the wearer to interact more with their garment by emphasising the routine of dressing up, with therefore creating a deeper, more meaningful relationship between the wearer and the garment. For the current collection, on top of being transformable, each garments have their own personal garment bag. This is done thoughtfully to elevate the value of the

object, aiming to stop the perpetuation of throwaway culture. The personal garment bag is not only for storing the garments, but can also be worn as an outerwear, and is a piece of clothing in itself. The collection is designed to last a lifetime, day in and day out. What sets aside TOILÉ from the other brands that are on the scene at the moment? My designs are usually influenced by the deconstruction of clothing archetypes, with many of the garments from this collection being transformable. The way body is dressed is also a vital element that is recurrent in my work throughout my degree. I refuse to believe that we dress just because. I believe there is something more deeply rooted and complicated than that.

137

"MY FAVOURITE PHOTOGRAPHER FOR THE TIME BEING IS PETRA COLLINS" Is there a type of person you have in mind when designing your clothes? Who is your dream client to dress?

when I couldn’t do it. My lecturer’s favourite comment of my early proposals is, edit edit EDIT!

I don’t usually think of anyone or a muse per se. I just think of my collection hanging inside.

One thing I learned from my degree is to filter out my ideas in order to make it make sense. And usually it will eventually happen as I unconsciously filter out the ideas in my brain. I will try to understand the nuances on each ideas or theories, and compare them by their similarities and differences. I’ll read about something, like Margiela’s biography, or Jacques Derrida, or something random like the History of Undergarment. And then I’ll watch something in the news, or read something from a magazine ad, and at some point (usually in the middle of the night when I’m about to sleep) all the different ideas jumbled inside my head will suddenly click. And then I’ll jump out of my bed, scaring my roommate to death, rummaging for my journal to write it all down.

Harrolds or DSM and I’ll imagine people trying it on. Its really this balance between my creative vision and being able to actually sell it to real people. So when people say ‘Oh my God! Where can I buy this piece?’, that’s really the biggest compliment someone can give me! What was your brightest achievement so far? I would say showing for Melbourne Fashion Week! It was not the main runway of course, but I got the chance to exhibit my work in one of the sub-events they held at The Exchange, Docklands. It is called ‘Urban Flaneur’, a salon show that is a part of my third year studio in collaboration with Lendlease, The Exchange and MFW. I feel so proud being one of the six students chosen to exhibit our work in front of such a large audience. Seeing people’s expression when they saw my work is priceless! What are your main inspiration, and how do you see your design evolving? In terms of inspiration, I like looking for nuances and reading between the lines. I believe everything has a deeper meaning! I am more drawn to ideas or theories, the symbolism and allegories that are hidden inside. However for the design process, it is a little bit more complicated. I can say that I am a scatterbrain, which is good, but bad at the same time. At the start of every collection, I will always have a hundred ideas of what I want to do. I start off my design process by reading, a lot of it, and getting ideas, a LOT of it. Most of the time, I will want to mix those 100 things altogether—which is not possible— and get utterly stressed

138

How do you feel like social media has changed fashion? I feel like social media is currently the strongest platform for aspiring designers like us that still does not have the fund nor the connections to do things like advertisement and campaign. We have the chance to showcase our work in a public sphere, to be discovered and to collaborate with other artists. And actually, I even have the honour to do this interview because of social media! Me and Jess (the photographer for this shoot) met through Instagram and decided to work together for this shoot! Who would you most like to collaborate with from within the visual arts and fashion spheres? I have the privilege to collaborate with a lot of very talented artists throughout my time in RMIT whether it is photographer, stylist, and make-up artists. I have no idea how different it is working outside my safe zone, going out to the real world and actually

meeting these amazing talents! They have taught me so much things that I will probably never learn in uni. My favourite photographer for the time being is Petra Collins, she is amazing! If my clothes were to be photographed by her one day, that would be a dream.

Our Autumn-Winter 2018 edition of Just Magazine is about the guilty pleasures, do you have any? Oh I have so many! But recently, I’m becoming a huge astrology addict and my friends are starting to get worried about my obsession. My guilty pleasure would be spending hours and hours reading about horoscopes and then blaming all my problems to mercury retrograde! It’s a very real problem. The advice you would give to young designers starting out today? As a young designer starting out myself, I would say, just keep going!!!! The talents that I see in the industry now is so different and revolutionary. I cannot wait to work with them in the future. What is your next collection be like? I am planning to carry forward this idea of transformability and emotional durability to build a more sustainable wardrobe. Next year is going to be my Honours year, so it is going to be the last collection I would make for my degree. I am so nervous for 2019 but excited at the same time. Fingers crossed!

INTERVIEW DZHUS

154

DZHUS is a conceptual womenswear brand launched in 2010 by Ukrainian designer and stylist Irina Dzhus. Avant-garde yet utilitarian, DZHUS is known for innovative cut, multifunctional transformer garments and austere industrial aesthetics. Inspired by the complex structure of the ambient, Irina Dzhus generates unique experimental constructions. The brand’s ideology stands for consciousness and humanity. Ethically manufactured using crueltyfree materials, all DZHUS products are vegetarian-friendly. Short-listed for the International Woolmark Prize in 2015, DZHUS present their collections during Ukrainian Fashion Week and Paris Fashion Week. DZHUS clothing is stocked at concept stores in the USA, Austria, Japan, China, Australia, UAE and Saudi Arabia, and sold online worldwide. The brand’s customer is a nonconformist intellectual in search of the perfect shell for her distinctive inner world. DZHUS has been featured in the top international press including Vogue, Dazed&Confused, Harper’s Bazaar, Marie Claire, Elle, Elle Decoration, Cosmopolitan, L’Officiel, Dezeen.com and more, as well as a wide range of independent magazines.

155

156

SS19 COLLECTION, “PROCESS” DZHUS SS19 line is dedicated to the process of apparel manufacturing, celebrating the technological aspect in all its peculiarity. Constructed using experimental patternmaking techniques, the designs offer radical transformations, making the garments extremely adaptive to their wearers’ preferences and changing circumstances: trousers are modified into a jacket almost instantly, a bag can be worn as either a top or a skirt, and a voluminous hood vanishes once flatly folded. The use of fabrics and finishes plays up the ‘in progress’ condition of the garments, which designer Irina Dzhus has always found the most enrapturing stage of creation. Inspired with the genuineness and imperfection of mock-ups and prototypes, DZHUS SS19 pieces feature exaggeratedly structured details, exposed seams and threads, whereas some of the textiles resemble crumpled paper. Traditionally, DZHUS have combined avant-garde approach to design with uncompromising quality, wearability and comfort.

157

Hi Irina, tell us briefly about yourself and how did you first get into fashion? I was born in Kiev and have lived there all my life. I remember myself at the age of 5, dreaming to be a fashion designer. Since then, I’ve been constantly improving my skills. I went to an art school, then to university where I studied fashion design, and did an internship with a famous Ukrainian designer, Victoria Krasnova. I launched my own brand, DZHUS, upon my graduation in 2010. What is the concept behind your SS19 collection? What techniques and materials did you use and why? Our Spring/Summer line is dedicated to the process of apparel manufacturing, celebrating the technological aspect in all its peculiarity. Using experimental patternmaking techniques, I constructed garments that feature radical transformations: trousers are modified into a jacket almost instantly, a bag can be worn as either a top or a skirt, and a voluminous

158

hood vanishes once flatly folded.

what I do for DZHUS.

My choice of fabrics and finishes plays up the ‘in progress’ condition of the garments, which I’ve always found the most enrapturing stage of creation. Inspired with the genuineness and imperfection of mock-ups and prototypes, I created exaggeratedly structured details, exposed seams and threads, and used textiles resembling crumpled paper for some of the styles.

But what is probably even more important about our brand is our ideology. We stand for consciousness and humanity and make all our products vegetarianfriendly, using only cruelty-free materials and technologies. I aim to show with my designs that conscious fashion doesn’t mean boring.

What sets aside DZHUS from the other brands that are on the scene at the moment? What makes DZHUS unique 100% authentic experimental cut. I find it extremely important to release only innovative designs. I consider it plagiarism to replicate styles that have already been invented by someone else. As regards basic and classic pieces, I think it’s a prerogative of mass market (which shouldn’t be underestimated), whereas a designer is supposed to design – and that’s

Is there a type of person you have in mind when designing your clothes? Who is your dream client to dress? Every woman who wears DZHUS is one of a kind. Our customers are creative, intelligent, independently thinking and open-minded personalities, successful in their way of self-expression. Many of them are artists, architects, designers, photographers or performers. My dream client is a person who understands and values the innovations I contribute to fashion, and feels synergy with our clothing as an embodiment for her own individuality.

159

HE BIGGEST ISSUE FOR ME IS TIM

160

What challenges did you face when designing and producing your collections? The biggest issue for me is time. Although conceptual designers are associated with slow fashion, in reality, we are all expected to remain season-oriented, which means at least 2 collections per year. As long as each of DZHUS patterns is invented and developed by me personally, it takes me a long time to make drawings and mock-ups, and work out technological solutions for every garment, to then forward it to our production studio for prototyping. Please mind we don’t have half a year to produce the samples, as we still have to allow at least few months for preliminary communication with buyers and press before the collection is officially presented. Being constantly busy and in a rush results in a huge stress, demotivation and a risk to start losing the considerate approach and high quality one day. What fascinates you about the art world today? Which designers or artists have been the most influential to you? I must say I’m not into contemporary art. This doesn’t mean I prefer classics but completely the opposite: I’m a big fan of early 20th century avant-garde, and the more I see nowadays art, the stronger I realise art was much more contemporary and statement 100 years ago than it is now. Art is losing its quality: a mediocre painter from even as late as 1960s would be considered an outstanding mastermind today. Frankly speaking, I’m quite frustrated with this tendency, but I don’t give up my hopes to discover a new Egon Schiele. As regards design, it has never been as strong as it is now. We probably have to avow that design is the new art. My favourite designers are Martin Margiela, Issei Miyake and Yohji Yamamoto.

How do you feel like social media has changed fashion? Fashion has become much more open, which is hard to overestimate. Now everyone has a chance to stand out and influence the whole industry. Brands are provided with amazing opportunities in both B2B and B2C directions: it’s now possible to reach any influencer at a personal level, as well as to communicate products directly to customers in diverse ways. Who do you see yourself collaborating with from within the visual arts and fashion spheres? I would be thrilled to do a collaboration with one of iconic labels from the ‘bridge’ segment. It’d be a completely new experience for me to explore mass production technologies and learn to integrate those in my designs. I’m sure it’d give me countless ideas for new DZHUS collections, whereas the popular brand would release a unique line with my vision and approach contributed. Our Autumn-Winter 2018 edition of Just Magazine is about the guilty pleasures, do you have any? I’ve got a lot of vices and passions, however, they don’t meet. Any advices for the beginners in fashion? A career in fashion is far not an easy one to do. Along with an extraordinary talent, they will need special attainments as well as communication skills and funding to release at least a competitive designer product. Beginners should be honest to themselves: if they are a 100 % sure their ideas are that unique and they’re ready to spend literally all their time struggling for their work’s success, then they should definitely try. If not – fashion is, undoubtedly, much more fun when it’s just a hobby. What is your next collection be like? Stay tuned to see new radical cut concepts offering even a wider range of wearable transformations than before.

INTERVIEW NICO STINGHE PHOTOGRAPHER

177

Hi Nico, so what was that day? Why did you get there and where this all been located? This was in Tuscany , a friend was getting married, we met in Berlin a few years ago and the master of ceremony was one of my first friends when I moved to Italy, she, francesca, the bride, introduced us. He said to meet him in a McDonald’s , it was raining so he was wearing a cowboy hat. And how should we title this story..? I named the folder of the photos F+N . But I name the folders very badly. Maybe Francesca’s wedding, but I like F+N it’s like

178

those bad drawings on trees. So many great people have been captured by you in such a natural way... Do them all like the result of your photo report? I don’t know. I had no feedback really , I know Marco , the master of ceremony when I saw him and showed him the images he liked them. Maybe we should name the story Marco.

Have you ever been too shy to photograph somebody? Yes , very often. What would you like to tell us about that night by yourself? A bit hangover. What do you think about shooting strangerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s weddings for money? I would love it. I would love to shoot a new riche gypsy wedding in Romania. Our Autumn-Winter 2018 edition ofJust Magazine is about the guilty pleasures, do you have any? I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know.

179

180

What do you love about fashion photography the most? A good friend of mine closed a shop he had was a mix of conceptual art and fashion he is a dancer. He wrote a letter saying he doesn’t agree to where fashion is going now. And I agree- he’s a very straight forward person, a few years ago he wrote me an email saying he researched a lot of images and my work was still relevant. Last year he wrote that I lost my edge and I became too commercial.

The thing is all underground fashion now is mediocre. It’s ruined by some kind of pretentious uninteresting elite and the fun is gone. It’s the Zara of the underground. Over saturation of images, over quantified by social media numbers, continuous promotion. The geeks rule the world.

How do you think technology changes and social media is affecting art and fashion nowadays? It’s a cycle I was able to see from begging to its apogee and hopefully I’ll see the ending of it too. I’m disappointed to see that we have now access to all this information and the only reason why we use it is for commercial reasons to sell more . Promote and sell, born to buy on amazon.

INTERVIEW

TOMAS ACIEGO A VISUAL ARTIST FROM MADRID HTTP://TOMASACIEGO.COM/

227

228

Hi Tomas, tell us about your background as an artist and a human in general and how did you first get into 3D? I have always considered myself as somewhat of a fantasiosa person and with a lot of imagination. I've been a fan of sci-fi, movies, videogames and manga since I was a little boy and I've always had dramatically different cultural interest from my school mates. My father and my brother are jazz musicians and I've grown up watching them practice for hours. This has shown me to be constant and that if you want to succeed in any discipline, you have to dig deep in the different themes and, most importantly, practice.

that I could perform a creative and artistic work with digital technology. At this point I started to see in Instagram a lot of digital art works made with 3D software and I thought that if I practiced hard enough I could materialize the ideas I had in my head. From that point forward, I dedicated all of my time to study and better my skills with 3D software and soon I acquired the sufficient knowledge to do it. So succulent, hot andâ&#x20AC;Śwomen. Why and what does it mean? I represent the idealized aesthetic cannon of the being, where everything is perfect, idyllic and artificial.

We can say that everything started four years ago, when I traveled to BogotĂĄ, Colombia (where I lived for three years) due to both love and work. This was a moment in my life in which I was re-thinking my professional career. Until that moment I worked for TV production companies in Motion Graphics, designing small video animations for different shows, so I already had some self-learned knowledge regarding 3D and animation.

Today, mainly in social media, a lot of people try to showcase a non existent perfection, that's what I try to represent in my work.

The support from my partner, this change of surroundings and the enriching experience of learning about another culture made me want to sign-upfront a design course in the university and I began to study while working. This decision peeked my interest in art and design and encouraged me to develop andenhance my 3D capacities so

Where did you get your ideas from? Does your work convey some conceptual charge?

It's true that the images are always equipped with a certain eroticism and this is mainly due to the present aesthetic currents that are inclined towards a body and beauty cult, and innevitably linked to something sexual.

What I try to represent to a conceptual level is how a lot of people use social media to create a false and idealized projection of themselves. What is your current project you working on? Right now I'm working with MarĂa Simun, a fashion designer, in the image and the campaign of her new line of clothes. I have also created some avatars for the web page www.mariasimun.com. I'm also working in a collaboration with the artist Filip Custic, along with some other works for other brands. Where do you live and how does it influence your work? I'm from Madrid, it's a city I love and of course it has influenced my personality and also my work. In addition to having a broad cultural scene and be the home of, in my opinion, one of the best museums the world has to offer, the El Prado museum, it's city in which it's very easy to know people and make friends. Historically, Madrid is a city forme of people coming from other Spanish regions looking for better opportunities, this is why I think madrilians hare very welcoming and very socially proficient.

Ideas emerge from something I have seen, read or felt. When this ideas emerge I try to imagine them. I do a mental sketch and once it's formed I start to work with 3D software.

229

What are your main inspirations?

"I GET A LOT OF IDEAS FROM PLAYING VIDEOGAMES"

I'm a huge Rembrandt and Arnold Böcklin fan, among others. Thetreatment of light in their works is amazing. Regarding modern art, I have always loved Malevich and the geometrical abstraction of the suprematism, as well as the Art Deco aesthetic.

I've also been influenced by manga, like Akira, Ghost in the Cell and European comic artists like Moebious, Milo Manara and Tanino Libertatore. Another of my main influences are videogames and scifi. There are videogames that are true pieces of art like Dark Souls, Half Life or Metal Gear. I get a lot of ideas from playing videogames and they are a true source of inspiration. How much are you involved in fashion (politics and etc.) and how do you think art affects us in everyday life?

I think that art, design and fashion have always been linked, and are the result of the reality of a particular society. Have friends that are fashion designers like María Escoté, María Simun and the guys from SHOOP. My mother has always been involved in fashion and when she was young she worked as a model and also as an advisor of a famous designer from Madrid in the 80's, so there where always fashion magazines and while I'n not an expert I have always been surrounded by fashion. What is your favorite work of yourself? chunli_00000.jpg

How do you think technology changes and social media is affecting art nowadays? Slowly technology is merging with our daily life and all of the social interactions, and art is not an exception. New technologies like 3D, VR or augmented reality are opening new development paths and are very interesting tools to work with. Additionally, 3D offers immersive audiovisual experiences that can constitute a tool for a digital artistic piece. Who would you most like to collaborate if any? With Isaac Peral. But I really don’t know how... Will you be exploring the same concept through your work next? Lately, I’m exploring a lot with a particule software for the generation of fluids called RealFlow that, by the way, has been developed by a company from Madrid. This software enables you to generate and work with 3D fluids and I’m thinking about developing pieces with liquids as their main element. I’m, so experimenting with the development of darker, grimmer and abstract pieces, so that in a future I can maybe show the hidden face of this idyllic perfection. Our Autumn-Winter 2018 edition of Just Magazine is about the guilty pleasures, do you have any? I have a lot of pleasures, but none that make me feel guilty.

FIFTEEN MILLION LIKES -Our words towards these incomprehensible systems let us dream to set people free from the society. However, no matter how deep and sound the messages are, (as) the response we can only expect is "likes"(, it gives an impact to prove that we are all part of the contents of the society. )
