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
