A.F. Vandevorst Fall 2013 Ready-to-Wear Nicole Phelps' review

Designers An Vandevorst and Filip Arickx partnered with filmmaker Dirk Braeckman to create the evocative six-minute video that played at the beginning of their show. In it, the choreographer Lisbeth Gruwez channeled some sort of wild creature, or at least a possessed woman, writhing on the cement floor of a warehouse and struggling down a ladder, her face completely obscured by the long bangs of an enormous wig. The models wore the same hairpieces when they stepped off the tableau vivant that was exposed when the video scrim dropped. According to Vandevorst, the clothes themselves told a different story than the film, one based on the novel The Time in Between by María Dueñas, of a couturiere turned spy in 1930s Spain and Morocco.

Come again?

Ok so some of the inspiration for JK's photo concepts is western European inspired...

AF Vandevorst is a Belgian fashion brand.

An excerpt from the listing of this book Ende Neu:

"A fascinating insight into the stimulating universe of Belgium's cult fashion designer duo A.F.Vandevorst. A universe of fetishes, fur, leather, sensual folds and tight straitjackets... That is what Belgian fashion designers A.F.Vandevorst stand for. "

And IF that image of the cassette is by the German experimental group Einstürzende Neubauten. The lyrics to the song are:

Silence is sexy Silence is sexy So sexy As sexy as death Silence is sexy Silence is sexy So sexy So sexy Just your silence is not sexy at all Just your silence is not sexy at all Your silence is not sexy at all

I swear to god if Jungkook shows up somewhere with a ball gag... but wait...

I know someone else whose concepts were western-European inspired:

[fantasmagori-a]

“The base of the collection was the lingerie. We asked all of the models to wear our collection of intimates because our clothes were very masculine and valiant. We used heavy felted fabrics and drew a lot of influence from the military, so we wanted all of our girls to have a strong inner sense of femininity. We thought that if we gave them lingerie from our line, they would walk in a different way. Our philosophy was that they would stride softly in tremendously bold and confident clothes.

In addition to the feminine sensibility, we gave a cassette that we had made to each girl we cast. The tape had three songs: “Wild is the Wind” by David Bowie, “Superstar” by Sonic Youth, and “I’ve Never Been to Me” by Charlene. Along with the cassette, we handed out the accompanying lyrics. Our intention was for the models to learn the lines to each tune so they could sing along while walking in the show.”
