ARXI Bags by Konstantin Kofta

乌克兰时装设计师 Konstantin Kofta 以大胆的非传统皮革配饰设计闻名，他刚刚发布了最新一季的皮革包袋与手拿包系列。Kofta 喜欢从自然形态中汲取灵感，比如贝壳和人体解剖结构，然后将其转化为功能完整的服装和配饰。这一名为“ARXI”的2016春夏系列更进一步，融入并借鉴了巴洛克建筑中的形式与意象。

在 Kofta 看来，巴洛克建筑中的曲线、植物纹样和螺旋线，与建筑通常的直线和规则形态形成了“戏剧性”的对立。通过将这些建筑元素转化为可穿戴的物件，Kofta 把巴洛克艺术中的“人工自然”附着于人体之上，在人体结构与遥远时代的建筑之间创造出诗意的并置。该系列中的所有包袋和配饰均采用将精细皮革压印到特制手工雕塑框架上的工艺制成——这些框架由一位专属雕塑家在工作室里逐一打造。皮革压印成型后，再涂上定制灰色涂料，并以不同种类的蜡进行表面处理，营造出混凝土或石膏的质感。

ARXI – Wearable Architectural Details by Konstantin Kofta

Known for his daring and unconventional leather-accessory design, Ukrainian fashion designer Konstantin Kofta has just released his latest collection of leather bags and clutches. Kofta likes to draw inspiration from natural shapes, like seashells and parts of human anatomy, which he then transforms into fully-functional garments and accessories. Bearing the title “ARXI”, Kofta’s SS16 collection takes the designer’s approach a step further, by incorporating and inspired by forms and imagery found in Baroque architecture.

For Kofta, the curves, botanical decorations and spirals seen in Baroque architecture are a “dramatic” opposite of the straight lines and regular forms that a building otherwise has. By transforming these architectural elements into wearable objects, Kofta attaches the “artificial nature” seen in Baroque art onto the human body, creating a poetic juxtaposition between the architecture of the human body and that of a time long past. All of the bags and accessories in this collection were made by pressing fine leather onto special hand-made sculptural frames that are made in-house and one-by-one by a dedicated sculptor. Once the leather is pressed on them, it is in turn painted over with a custom-made grey paint and finished with different kinds of wax to give the impression of concrete or plaster.
