AOFM PRO FW18

Led by Przemyk creatives from the R+Co UK network all travelled to Paris during 18-19 January for the biannual showcase of future fall fashion. SEAN SUEN FW18 collection drew inspiration from the dramatic and often tumulus life of Pu Yi, the last Emperor of China, as well as from the 1987 Bernard Betolucci film of the same name. The setting is Suen native city of Beijing, China. This collection explored the journey of life, exploring the spaces between who we are and how our realities are embodied outwardly through our choices. With this in mind, the hair design had a gradual subtle change in how the show walked. The spectrum of hair complimented each model in a journey. Slick hair, moving on to global texture looks yet all in form.

HED MAYNER FW18

The collection takes its impulse from a Gordon Matta-Clark quote – ‘the action is centered on habitual daily gestures that become bizarre and adventurous in an unusual setting’. The complete range of pieces shown in Paris echoed ‘form follow function’, revealing a pared down approach projecting a playful wearability. This was the basis upon the hair was created. ‘Think school chess club’ says Przemyk. Casing the collection, simplicity vs. function was the key operator.
