Out of This World

The natural and luxurious fabrics of the collection range from wool, cashmere and leather to plastics. Romain Kremer developed high technology fabrics such as cashmere covered with a layer of transparent plastic or a crazy moulded latex fake fur. The colour palette stretches from natural to radioactive, with black, beige, nude, neon red and mint green.The eyewear piece, which completes this futuristic collection, was for the second season designed and developed in collaboration with eyewear design brand MYKITA.  The eyewear, which actually is more of a headpiece, is made of a type of polycarbonate and has been designed to figuratively protect the 3rd eye and the brain. It shapes the face, almost like a helmet, or as Kremer expressed it “eats” the wearer’s face. Named after the soviet astronaut Yuri Gagarin, the first man in outer space, the YURI reinforces the idea of a new type of man with a sci-fi warrior touch.

YURI’s shape is anatomic and aerodynamic: It follows the body, polishes it, and extends it in order to create a man-machine. The YURI comes with small peepholes instead of lenses, which like in traditional Inuit eyewear simply reduce the amount of sunrays getting to the eyes. This piece comes in an aggressive Black and in a “digital”, almost supernatural Neon Red. Already spotted on Lady Gaga during London Fashion Week in March 2010, the YURI will be available in stores from August 2010.
