Locking Shocking F/W 2006, Madrid

[brian]

the best artists find beauty by looking around for inspiration. these are the components of locking shocking.

this pair of designers, creating a perfect tandem, use varied resources like music, images and fashion, that come together and use multimedia technology to offer a unique collection. locking shocking does not follows trends, it creates them, it adapts them makes it their own.

the collection, with looks for men and women, has been plagued of references to the vagabond style which has been referenced many times during new york fashion week: layers, gloves, hoods, deathly makeup and great doses of black leather. it reinterprets aspects of british punk and a glamourous and casual "homeless look."

the label reinterprets its androgynous identity season after season. the men no doubt wearing skirts and leggings, and the woman feels comfortable in black leather. all have the capacity to cross the boundaries of our sexuality in favor of creativity.

the designers change aesthetics in the use of their materials. this season, locking shocking reinvent themselves and use wisely-selected novelty floral prints, in adition to printed microvelvet, silk, cotton, as well as nappa and eel leathers. its colour pallette includes tones of black, grey, blue, green and rose.

I love the floral/upholstery pieces! I quite like this but like Lena mentioned the inspiration is a bit too obvious.

I like the florals in the first picture, but in the other outfits it looks disgusting...Some of the more simple pieces look good...

This collection does seem to take a lot of hints from trends a couple of seasons ago. It's trying too hard.

Speaking of Madrid, they have placed a ban on models with BMI's under 18.
