Who’s afraid of Virginia Woolf?

March 02, 2018

We are all wanderers, dreamers, collectors. Objects get to survive for centuries, and find their way to us with their own imagistic tales to tell; we in turn accumulate them to build who we dream to be. The eponymous hero in Virginia Woolf’s Orlando from which this show takes its name not only lives for centuries, but chooses to become a woman when born a man.

This collection dares to imagine what clothes Orlando might have gathered over such a fantastic span of time. Who’s afraid of Virginia Woolf? Not I. And not ioannes.

"All woman in my life are masculine with unquestioned femininity. That is, a woman who oscillates between different identities without taking either too serious. Orlando the collection came to us because we had pieces of a women wardrobe she maybe collects her entire life, all those different identities we live, a cast of characters, without no hierarchy." -Johannes Boehl, ioannes designer

OAMC F/W '20

January 17, 2020

With Luke Meier, what you see is what you get—a refreshing take for this year's MFW.

When we caught up with the creative director last season, he gave us insight into his design process, not only in season's past but also pertaining to all things OAMC: "We always begin with an idea, a feeling we want to develop and some references that express that feeling. I work with a great design team, and initially, I give them a brief which contains many ideas, concepts, and images that initiate dialogue. We speak about different directions, we do deep research, not only in terms of actual garments and images, but music, film, art, and photography as well—whatever can relate to what we want to create."

This season Meier dove deep, using unique fabrics such as Japanese wools, quilted cotton, and silk. Integrating sharp tailoring with military-style pieces while featuring its an ongoing collaboration with adidas, OAMC F/W '20 proved to push the boundaries in a way that was experimental, yet highly realistic.
