Reeeeeeeally interesting stuff from London-based Serbian designer Marko Mitanovski, who sent models painted in black paint down the runway in leather-and-latex designs “inspired by nature and architecture” during London Fashion Week.
From the Daily Mail:
The ghoulish-looking models had most of their features completely hidden by the shiny oils, which were then accessorised with black facial jewels. Marko told Modaterra.com that his inspiration for the theme of the show came from the outside world, saying: ‘I was inspired by nature, birds, skeletons and architecture. I worked with sculptures for this collection and jewelry design. It was how I created the pieces with latex and leather.’
Question: This IS alright, isn’t it? Blackface that’s NOT referencing African-Americans, but, rather, “birds, death, architure, and nature”? Check out the looks below and decide for yourself.
His theatrical designs have been worn by the likes of Paloma Faith, Skunk Anansie, Katie Melua and Immodesty Blaize, and of course his biggest celebrity fan, Lady Gaga, who wore his creations on her Monster Ball tour.
I would wear any and all of these.
