DESIGN NAME: Kr-Sc-00001
PRIMARY FUNCTION: Avantgarde Summer Coat
INSPIRATION: Kronos ( KR-SC-00001) was inspired by the virtual reality and its journey from the real existence to the non-existence.It is the continuation of Exitus…what was inspired by the utopia of the self-destructive future society. The eye of the gas mask is the symbol for the mechanization of the system and the anonymity of the world. I got the inspiration from books like 1984 and Brave New World, as well as the films, for example Equilibrium, which are characterized by dystopian cities.
UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: KR-SC-00001 visualizes the individual’s dismissal from reality and its transformation in a new world.The Coat distinguishes itself through its unique contrasting material character. Hard, demolished rigid fabric, as well rough metal buckles and a gas mask lense, symbolise the individual’s liberation from human reality and lend it a mechanical character.Layers and elongated lapels encase the body and function as protection against upcoming and uncertain dimensions.The transformation is complete
