The story behind that picture: "Art Fashion Shows"

By: Thorsten Overgaard

 

In my continious presentation of Fashion Week atmosphere, here I present a few photos from the bARBARA í gONGINI catwalk at Copenhagen Fashion Week AW11 which Tue Juelsbo and I covered during rehearsals, backstage and the actual show for Getty Images

Whereas a fashion show is usually a commercial presentation of the upcoming designs presented to the buyers and press so at so create interest and sale, Barbara i Gongini has the philosophy to create art out of the fashion show. Working with upcoming musicians, painters, artists, singers, movie makers and all sorts of artists, the Faroese designer who operates worldwide out of Copenhagen, Denmark rather put up an unforgettable show than a commercial presentation.

The designer Barbara Gongini was born at the Faroe Islands, a distant part of the Kingdom of Denmark in the North Atlantic Ocean known for the brutal and ever-changing energetic climate, yet a part of the world with a fairytale beauty. A contrast that is displayed in her main line of basic jersey in twisted cuts, darkness and light, beauty and scary creatures. A delicate tension between the rough look and actual fabric.

The show presented models tearing off their clothes to sound and film, while one of the models suddenly started singing opera and then dressed herself in twenty or more layers of clothing, becoming some sort of a monster in soft and luxury fabric.

I'll get back to this designer with a growing following in Tokyo, Milan and elsewhere as one of her next projects will be filming on location in Iceland and the Faroe Islands using Leica glass to exemplify the light and details of ... it all!
