about... Stranger to Ourselves

following the foundation of suspending dress
i then developed the concept of 'suspending' and put it into this later collection.

it was a collection based on two important themes - shadow and 
stages of life

shadow was implicated through the act of suspending and draping technique
whilst,
the stages of life was linked through three colors of the collection - white, red and black which was inspired very much by the works of edvard munch (which i will talk briefly in the next post!)

Martina Hoogland Ivanow - a Sweden-born photographer i came across while i was doing research on the photo-shoot for my third year collection 'Stranger to Ourselves'. 

for GHOST campaign

i love how her works are always filled with warm saturated colors, creating vague images creating vague images in a moody darkness ambiance; yet somehow soft and romantic in a way

just so mesmerizing

 

it's quite obvious that my ambiance photo-shoot for that collection was very much influenced by her works, with the help of a student photographer (that time) Alexandra Bergman, who is from Sweden as well (how coincidence!). 

i found her through Flickr and i must say, it's like the best and right place for design students looking for collaborations. Looking through works of thousands of people and it was her works that captured me so i contacted her, hoping for a collaboration. 

so anyway.. some works from Martina Hoogland Ivanow
