Calcination

‘The reduction of life to ashes’

Playing upon classics and statement pieces of coats made famous from 1950s and 1960s Golden Age Hollywood cinema, the collection represents the horrific translation of the ‘Real Politik’ of today’s generation to a youthful sort. Find sanctuary with an easy casualness that can be stripped back to quickly translate itself easily into today’s social fabric – a fabric we do not fully understand nor comprehend but twinkles with beauty as well as nostalgia.

Triumph and disaster crosses the distinction of many boundaries both professional and leisurely, which is reflected in the collection. The antipodean ventures of the modern Australian man and woman crosses both continents and contexts of commerce, travel and international relations, but also history, war, cinema, speed, sound, as well as the context of memory, the spoken word, devastation and the consequences of our actions which inevitably interrupt our day-to-day lives.

Open Wardrobe plays with a mix of friendly, classy design with an attitude of cool and elevated judgment and an exploration of the sensual with the masculine and the feminine, as well as aquatic, as well as the sublime acquiescence in spirit that the story of this nation affords you – Open Wardrobe is a dark, intense, classy, and menacing drama that explores the suburban dream as well as notations of demure elegance and dignity.
