For this season's collection, German designer Miriam Schaaf created five protagonists for a fictitious apocalyptical film : the soldier, the mutant, the dandy, the saint and the escape (womenswear). These five figures live in a menacing environment, but their clothing provides them with the possibilities of defending and protecting themselves. Each character has a double persona : it can be either authentic and vulnerable, or dangerous and malicious. In this way, ten outfits in both light and dark shades have been developed. The materials used are cotton, leather, jersey, silk and nylon. The individual pieces of this collection stand independently, but share cohesive traits, id est secret compartments and pockets, their ability to be folded and buttoned to transmogrify into bags.
Similarly to the previous collection, this one is also inspired by functionality. It consists of light tank-tops, skinny trousers, sports jackets and coats.
The collection is placed in the medium to premium price segment.
The designer was supported conceptually by her team and Tobias Heumann (Le Château en Couleur).
The outfit of the soldier imparts martial strength and sovereignty. His coat can be worn in three different variations : as a complete ensemble, without sleeves, or as a bolero, which is fastened via a nylon add-on. The lining of the coat conceals three pockets. Compared to the label’s earlier cuts, these pants come with a shortened waistband and less room, yet they still have a casual and confident fit. The soldier’s light tank-tops represent his insecurity and sensitivity.
The dandy wears a tightly fitted sports jacket that comes with a rucksack embedded into the back. This bag can be unzipped from the jacket and be used by itself. The dandy choses between a black and a white cummerbund, and combines it with a tightly fitted, quilted waistcoat, also in either white or black. His light-gray shirt shoulder section is reinforced by padded jersey quilting. The trousers consist of mercerized cotton and embody the eccentric style of this cynical yet destructive character. This ensemble can be fastened with a belt.
The mutant is one step ahead of evolution and suffers from an incessant inner conflict between his cognitive and moral superiority and a depressive autism. This character is able to disintegrate his outfit : his waistcoat can be buttoned via straps to form a handy backpack. The waistcoat is combined with tightly fitted shorts and a black tank-top made from pleather. The light-gray shirt bears a lettering of the collection's title : "Don‘t "ell the world that we know".
The saint wears a light, nude-colored tank-top with an almost imperceptible and invisible fabric bag in the back. For the lady’s version of this item, Miriam Schaaf added an opaque bra made from pleather. The saint stands for the good, yet he is aware of the threat the apocalyptical situation poses to his values. The color black can enable this character to disappear into the night’s protection. He then wears a loose fitted big-shirt made from heavy cloth with wrought cotton inserts.
