Spring 2014: DOP (Disappearing Object Phenomenon)

Feral Childe SP14 plays on the sentimental curiosities of disappearance and reappearance. Nostalgic tributes, coincidence in composition and the wonder of unexplained rediscovery are expressed through emotional prints and subtly vibrant hues. SP14's palette includes earthy tones of sand and shale, a spectrum of blues, and pops of maroon and rust. The intoxicating mystery surrounding a young woman's disappearance in Michaelangelo Antonioni's film L’Avventura, the lyrics of Buffy Sainte Marie's Moonshot, and the Google Image Search results for "disappearing object phenomenon" serve as triple points of inspiration. Prints adapted from Feral Childe's paintings, drawings, and collages depict dodo birds, abandoned spacecraft, Mars rovers, optical instruments, ancient Mayan ruins, and Aurovillian geodesic domes. The collection is comprised entirely of natural fibers ranging form handloomed and organic cotton, silk linen, Tencel and hemp. Each and every garment is made in New York City.
