collection 2013 - 2014
BEGYNDER MED JAGTEN Mennesket har siden tidernes morgen klædt sig i skind fra vildtlevende dyr. Skindene tjente et praktisk formål, men gav også bæreren en følelse af samhørighed med de vilde dyr. Som om en del at dyrets kvaliteter levede videre hos dets nye bærere. Også det moderne menneske er fascineret af det vilde dyreliv, men naturens ressourcer er langt fra tilstrækkelige, hvis blot en promille af klodens syv milliarder mennesker vil gå i bøffelskind eller smykke sig med fjer fra Sydamerikas smukke papegøjer. Heldigvis behøver man ikke nedlægge dyret for at tilegne sig dets skønhed, mærke dets styrke eller føle dets karisma helt tæt på kroppen. Filosofien bag Dusk n’ Dawn er at bringe naturen tættere. At give bæreren den oprindelige følelse af samhørighed med det dyreprint, der bæres. Tilblivelsen af en Dusk n’ Dawn collektion afviger ikke meget fra tilblivelsen af menneskehedens allerførste klædestykker. Også vores tilblivelse begynder med jagten. Jagten på det rigtige motiv. Våben og fælder er skiftet ud med kamera, og når Michael Sand har fotoskudt de udvalgte dyr begynder den grafiske behandling. Motivet tilpasses og justeres og ender til slut som print på en Dusk n’ Dawn t-shirt. På den måde lever det vilde dyr videre. Både i naturen og nu også som en del af dig.
