“The Polish UEG collective have launched their second project called ‘Lifestyle Packaging’ that they have defined as their [ MANIFESTO] “ Made entirely of Tyvek a fully recyclable fabric made by Dupont essentially for workwear uniforms, it has a finish that resembles paper and forms the basis for the graphics that UEG have applied to the collection.

A form of ‘wearing their politics on your sleeve’ UEG ‘s work is inspired by Polish political heroes, Roman Polanski films and socio political philosophies.”

Maison Martin Margiela ’20’ The Exhibition ph by Ronald Stoops

A journey through installations, photography, video and film celebrates the 20 years of the most mysterious of the fashion houses. “Maison Martin Margiela ’20’ The Exhibition,” on show at London’s Somerset House (the new home of the city’s Fashion Week), gathers the 20–year history of the brand that changed the look of fashion. Capturing the essence of the maison and the designer’s artistic and conceptual approach to fashion, the exhibition is “a visual examination of the themes of Maison Martin Margiela, from its deconstructivist, subversive design aesthetic and avant–garde couture, to its understated branding, unusual boutique interiors and ‘trompe-l’oeil’, or optical illusion, and its couture atelier white coats.” via
