desperadosi sa istoka

bruce springsteen

kakva je to spona koja vezuje usamljenike o kojima peva bruce springsteen sa (divljeg) zapada i dizajnera sa (dalekog) istoka? yang li je uz dream, baby dream stvorio kolekciju a/w 14 the dreamer,  a pre neki dan na nedelji muške mode u parizu yohji yamamoto je na scenu izveo svoje desperadose. da li smo mogli da slutimo da će genijalni istočnjak da nas povede na divlji zapad, da uvede jeans uz usnu harmoniku springsteena? ja ne. i taaako sam prijatno iznenađena. u svetu u kojem sve manje stvari uspeva da me iznenadi pozitivno…

yang li, a/w 2014, the dreamer

paradise by the ‘c

bruce springsteen

i search for you on the other side
where the river runs clean and wide
up to my heart the water rise
up to my heart the water risei sink ‘neath the water cool and clear
drifting down, I disappear
i see you on the other side
i search for the peace in your eyes
but they’re as empty as paradise
they’re as empty as paradise

i break above the waves
i feel the sun upon my face

dream baby dream or brutal romance of human nature

svoju kolekciju za jesen 2014 yang li je nazvao dreamer. kaže da želi da ljudi veruju da je sve moguće. kao muzičku podlogu koristi springsteenovu stvar dream baby dream… dizajnira za samopouzdane, a emotivne žene. i muškarce koji se ne plaše da rame uz rame koračaju sa takvim ženama. za ljude koji imaju san. za individualce.

rođen u pekingu,, odrastao u australiji, školovao se i živi u engleskoj,  lansiran u modnu orbitu iz pariza, radi po celom svetu… bivši skater i košarkaš, emotivni panker… sve to se oseća u njegovim modelima. i azijski i zapadni uticaj. i estetizovani istočnjački minimalizam i snažni urbani touch zapada.

 “yes: i am a dreamer. for a dreamer is one who can only find his way by moonlight, and his punishment is that he sees the dawn before the rest of the world.” – oscar wilde

sa  journal antonioli

yang li spring 2014

u ekskluzivnom intervjuu za journal.antonioli rekao je:

what was your first fashion memory, and how fashion entered your life?

brutal romance of human nature.

where do you catch your inspiration from? and in particular what’s the main inspiration behind this spring/summer 2014 collection?

an intimate dedication for the women surrounding yang li’s world. all of whom are responsible for inspiring his work and life. in a seductive expression of modernity, attitudes of street and skate culture break couture atmospheres. the precious is questioned, then exalted.

 do you have any muse, a kind of woman/man you take inspiration from and whom you design for?

somebody with a story and a dream.

 

the dreamers, bernardo bertolucci
