Client: Max Mara
If the last 10 years of fashion were to be categorized by a look or movement, it would be the confluence of fashion and art. Once completely separate worlds, we now see crossovers and partnerships, as was seen in Max Mara’s pre-fall capsule collection in collaboration with Chinese artist Liu Wei. Wei’s work explores 21st-century socio-political concepts with skepticism and satire in a variety of media, resulting in color-burst canvases, and dystopian landscapes represented by sculptures of monuments and cities made from dog chews, it’s hard to imagine how the luxury Italian clothing brand and Wei can come together to create a collection where both voices can be heard. Max Mara had asked me to create an editorial for AS IF magazine that echoes the synthesis of this collaboration.
