For spring, An Vandevorst and Filip Arickx imagined a female pilot who lands and then gets lost in unfamiliar terrain. Cue a sartorially dramatic entrée: an airy bustier dress with an extra-long trail made from a khaki parachute, suggesting perhaps that the pilot had abruptly decided to abandon her plane, as smoke filled the room mimicking a thick cloud formation.
The duo used a crispy cotton fabric to sculpt a trenchcoat and several dresses, which looked as if the wind had blown them into all four cardinal directions. More practical were the pilot jumpsuits as well as some loosely constructed coats and blazers. A series of couture-esque numbers featuring guinea fowl feathers, including a bustier worn on top of an oversize men’s shirt, fed the flight theme.
