The wining collection titled #buysexual was made under the menthorshop of prof. Almira Sadar, tech.assist. Nataša Hrupič, tech. assist. Alenka More. The collection was inspired by the novel The Picture of Dorian Gray written by Oscar Wilde. The story is about a beatiful young man, who lives a hedonistic lifestyle hidden behind his beauty. The collection was also inspired by an online phenomenom of young models who sell their nude photographs online, so they can live the glamurous Instagram lifestyle that all of us long for.
The inspiration fort he silluetes lie behind the fashion of the dandies in the 19th century with their imaculatley tailored suits and expensive looking clothing which gave the illusion of them being of a higher social status, although they were in fact only of the bourgeois status.
The details of big collars and coat details were taken from the dandy clothing while for some added surprise elements of nude skin on ferishised parts of the male body. The back is exposed on the suits and coats while on pants theres glimpses of the buttocks and the v line muscles on the abdomen and an open sleeve so we can see the mans armpit. The collection is made of very luxurious materials like velvets and wools and sparkly twids and as a contrast there’s BDSM styled details and materials to show the mischevious side of our modern businessman.
The end result is a collection full of sophisticated silluetes with hidden naughty details that reveal the true nature of the modern businessman.
