He created this runway show using pieces from their joint archives and Vivienne’s personal wardrobe.
“I organized and numbered Vivienne’s personal wardrobe, the clothes we created together,” said Andreas.
Andreas made some modifications to the creations when he felt the need.
He starts his runway show with a hat, Vivienne’s signature code, in addition to a mix of prints and high-heeled booties.
The combining technique is very interesting; it follows the path of automatic writing, resonating with the Dada universe. As a voice coming from another world, maybe SHE was guiding the numbers.
