Carol Christian Poell - Designer

the form becomes a victim of the space and the viewer, and with ccp, the wearer becomes a victim of the form.


"object dyed leather hands" (not gloves any more here at last)

the ultimate transposition...
if those are now called hands...
what do we call the wearer... the victim?

:wink:...:innocent:

can they actually be worn with any success...?
are they rigid?
do they have some flexibility?
or are they more like sculptures?
 
^ yes, a subject, an experimental one or prosthetic ?

or the wearer may be the ruin of a body if ccp is here the maker of a "body without organs".
in a way, fetishism could be organic dreams to return to the inorganic.

I'd say the hand can be worn relatively easily although this statement is from the only one experience where I tried on the sample. at least the leather is not rigid if it is horse or kangaroo.
ccp might seem to be stony sometimes, but it had padding added to the metal tiny knuckles. and the metal is titanium. so it is rather light while very strong/dent-resistant. also it's sort of soft to the feel, to the touch, if you know what I mean: it feels like a mediator between plastic and metal.
btw, it is zippered on the other side. since it's called hands especially, the metal teeth are applied to the skin along your artery for some cronenberg effect as though they are growing from the hand.

Can anybody recall seeing other designers doing their own version of that coat that folds upwards onto itself from post 152? I think I saw Lanvin & Burberry show something similar in their shows, but I can't find pics anywhere.

how are these white only on one side? are they painted?
:unsure:...

very cool closure...
does it lay flat once its on or what?

thx again!

^ it is the weave, as if it is speaking of the secret blackness cited in post 156.
not just hopelessly white but sort of "phosphorescent from all its encounters with darkness"

it doesn't totally lay flat.
 
ccp catalogue categorizes the leather item as an accessory, a bag.

Thank you very much for the pics! I specially like all the imperfections both in the coat and the vest/backpack. Feels like a mixture between brutalism and punk...very rebel indeed!
 
Greetings!
Perhaps, does anyone know who it is? In my mind, he resembles CCP but not sure
