Dear Shaded Viewers,
The shapes and volumes of Kristian Guerra's collection resemble totems and are a reflection on sportswear which begins with the selected fabric treatment. Kristian uses a process of combustion by which the traced shapes are impressed onto the material, enriching the surface and giving a new vitality to the warer. Each look combines technical elements with sportswear references, creating exaggerated hybrids and altering the propositions of the body by projecting it sky high. The obsessive movement of the hands brings life and form to the menswear collection. Intertwined hands become highly structured puffer jackets.
Kristian Guerra was born in Padua in 1988 and received his BA in Fashion Design, Faculty of Arts & Design, IUAV University of Venice, Italy. Before that he attended the Arts College "A.Modigliani, Padua, Italy. He won a "fashion special prize" at ITS10 and the D-La Repubblica Award.
Later,
Diane
