inside out
September 18, 2007 12:46 pm

Appropriately enough, insider favorite Marios Schwab, who showed yesterday, was inspired by the body’s interior. “I shouldn’t have been reading, because I have no time to read, but I was reading The Atlas of Emotion,” the 28-year-old Greek and Austrian designer told us backstage after his show. “From there, I became fascinated by the idea of creating a garment that functioned as an exoskeleton. I wanted the clothes on the outside to reflect the interior.” Maybe if we could visualize our insides as looking like the muscle fiber- and blood cell-patterned fabrics over which Schwab draped pearls in delicate rib cage designs, smoking would truly become unfashionable. Just a thought.
