WEDGE HEELS

Once again the wedge shoes have made their come-back to several shows for the spring and summer collections. Even though one might have ones doubts about wearing these retro shoes in yet another era, just look at those fabulous reinvented floral print models by Gucci or the ever so stunning wedge heeled waders by D&G. They are an inevitable item.

DOLLHOUSE

We proudly present a beautiful and new fashion editorial: Dollhouse by New York based photographer Richard Warren.

Iconique Special Editions

Born in Texas and educated in the Pacific Northwest, Richard Warren chose a career in photography at the age of seventeen. Before moving to New York at the age of twenty-two, he completed a Bachelor of Science degree in Graphic arts and printing. After assisting Robert Mapplethorp, Helmet Newton, Denis Piel, and Bill King in New York he moved to Milan and started shooting for Italian Bazaar under the editorial direction of Giuseppe Della Schiava and sittings editor Ugo Ghirardi.
His first fashion editorial for Italian Bazaar was thirty pages of Couture shot after the Rome Collections. After a year in Milan he spent a year in Paris followed by a year in Sydney Australia. Since then he has shot for over fifty fashion magazines worldwide.
"Shooting fashion for magazines is really different than other types of photography in that you always have eight to fourteen pages to shoot. Not only does every shot have to be great but also each shot has to be a section of a cohesive story. Making one great photograph is relatively easy. Making fourteen great fashion photos that tell a story is really another discipline." Fashion photographer Richard Warren works in a studio in the fashion district of Manhattan, and lives with his wife and two kids in Westchester County New York. We are proud to welcome him to Iconique.

HUSSEIN CHALAYAN - RETROSPECTIVE EXHIBITION

From 17 April to 4 September 2005, the Groningen Museum will display the first large-scale solo exhibition of the work of the British based Turkish Cypriot fashion designer Hussein Chalayan (Nicosia, 1970). In the past ten years Hussein Chalayan has created more than twenty collections of which the most important will be shown in the form of outfits, installations, photographic work, and video work. In conjunction with NAi Publishers, the first monograph on the work of Hussein Chalayan will be issued to accompany the exhibition, celebrating his tenth anniversary as a professional designer.

Chalayan belongs to the most innovative, experimental and conceptual fashion designers of the present day. With inspiration coming from various and assorted disciplines such as architecture, philosophy and anthropology, his oeuvre can be located at the interface between fashion and art. His themes often have a socio-cultural streak relating back to Chalayan’s personal history as someone who owes his identity to different cultures.

In 1993, Hussein Chalayan graduated from Central St Martins College of Art and Design in London with an eye-catching presentation for which he had first buried the garments. His use of innovative, unusual materials and unorthodox techniques, in combination with the conceptual wealth of his presentations, won him the title of Designer of the Year at the British Fashion Awards of 1999 and 2000. From 2001 onward, he has held his shows during the Prêt à Porter fashion weeks in Paris. He launched his first menswear collection in 2002, and since then he has participated in countless exhibitions worldwide, including Radical Fashion in the Victoria & Albert Museum in London, Fashion in the Kyoto Costume Institute in Japan, Airmail Clothing in Musée de la Mode Palais du Louvre in Paris, and the Biennale in Istanbul. In 2001/2002 he was Artist in Residence at the Wexner Center (State University of Ohio). In April 2004 Chalayan opened his first flagship store in Tokyo, which submerges customers in the Mediterranean atmosphere of Northern Cyprus.

In the exhibition, which will be held on two floors of the Museum, the much-discussed collection Afterwords (AW 2000-2001) will be shown. This collection refers to the reality of the refugee. In this, the upholstery is transformed into dresses, the chairs into suitcases, and the coffee table unfolds to become a skirt. Ambimorphous (AW 2002-2003), a project that covers cultural change, can be seen in the (fashion) show as a kind of journey from one culture to another, both geographically and temporally. The presentation begins with a model dressed in a completely ‘ethnic’ costume, and this is followed by models who gradually change clothes, piece by piece, ending with a modernist black outfit. A collection of photos has been made of these different outfits by Marcus Tomlinson, a video artist with whom Chalayan has often worked. Recent creations - the video work Place to Passage (2004), whose theme covers a(n) (internal) journey from London to Istanbul, and his latest work Anaesthetics (2004) – will also be on show in this first large-scale solo exhibition.

A monograph on the work of Hussein Chalayan has been published in conjunction with NAi Publishers Rotterdam. Authors: Caroline Evans, Suzy Menkes, Bradley Quinn, and Ted Polhemus. 176 pages, paperback, edited by Barbera van Kooij and Sue-an van der Zijpp, price Euro 29.50

Photography: Chris Moore.
