The power of the series lies in contrast. Saint Hoax uses polished, recognizable imagery and overlays it with bruises, swelling, and expressions of exhaustion or fear. The result is deeply uncomfortable, but that discomfort is central to the work’s purpose. Domestic violence is not abstract or distant, and the artist removes the option for detachment by placing it within a visual language that most people recognize instantly.

Antonio Ortega Haute Couture F/W 2014-2015
The collection moved deliberately between two visual languages. On one side, sharply tailored, hunting-inspired garments suggested discipline, protection, and structure. These looks carried a sense of readiness, as though designed for survival within constructed systems. On the other, feathered and leafy ensembles evoked something primal and organic. Soft, textured, and instinctive, these pieces leaned into nature as both armor and ornament.

Bobby Abley SS15 London Collections Men
Bobby Abley has never been interested in subtlety, and his Spring Summer 2015 presentation at London Collections Men made that position unmistakably clear. Where many designers use references sparingly, Abley builds entire worlds out of them. For SS15, that world was unapologetically cartoon-driven, playful, and emotionally tied to nostalgia.

The artist reimagines beloved Disney characters, placing them in scenarios where happy endings are replaced by realistic, often jarring consequences. The result is a series that is both playful and unsettling, challenging viewers to reconsider the familiar narratives they have grown up with.
