Light As a Feather

June 07, 2019

This isn't Ms. Andersen's first rodeo with office, and it certainly won't be her last. While last season, the Danish designer drew took to blending classical tailoring with a quirky streetwear sensibility, she opted to take a more delicate aesthestic root grounded in rhythmic movement and airy accentuation for her SS20 line.

In collabortation with office solutions, the label served up a lookbook with the ability to capture the conceptual essence of the clothing itself. This collection signifies a remarkably fresh appraoch to the creative process, with an aesthetic that draws heavily from two unique yet harmonious sources, the celestial visual universe South Korean artist Do Ho Suh and the transcendent soundsdcape of musican James Blake. In the same way that both creatives utilize their respective mediums to manipulate space and sound, Andersen created a line that blends the poeticism of aerodynamicy with the swagger of the streets.

The label's slower, more peaceful appoach is perhaps the most tangible takeaway from the collection as a whole. From the handcrafting and delicate layered dip-dye techniques, the deeply contemplative palette of light greys and dustry blues with hints of ochre, and the overall gravitation towards lighter, more ethereal textiles, Astrid Andersen certainly gives us something to write home about.

Perfection is the recipe for disaster for a lot of us. You will always fail in the pursuit of perfect... but the journey is fun. - Kevin Ponce

Everyone finds zen in their work in a different way. It's a really important part, having something in your work that feels good despite what else is going on. Once you put yourself into that state of flow, a lot comes out. -Martine Ali

A lot of the time we have narratives of people, what we think they are going to be like, or a certain perception of them. For them to blow away all of those things is incredibly cool. That's my main objective and the whole point of writing, to keep the narrative going, to keep cultural criticism going, to keep history going. - Kerane Marcellus
