Transfixed by the enduring story of love, beyond the love affair, but rather that
blurs the lines of all conformity, Anna’s inspiration for the SS14
collection is the magic between Robert Mapplethorpe and Patti Smith.
The intricate detail, subtle contrasts and duality in his photographs urged
Anna to look at the traditional suit, wanting to make something that
followed the masculine and feminine body contours.
Seeing the world as a Mapplethorpe photograph, transfixed in duality, Patouf
have added zips to the leg to change the shape, forming new lines and
blurring existing ones, as did Patti Smith and Mapplethorpe’s
relationship.
The subtle changes adapting into the contour of the body
in this seasons relaxed and elegantly fluid suit.
Being comfortable in your own skin has always been Anna’s motto. The
fingerprint pattern that can be seen in this season’s
collection identifies with the somewhat continuous explorations with the
lines that follow the cut of the suit.
One has to take a closer look to
see its true identity.
“I learned from him that often contradiction is the clearest way to truth” - Patti Smith, Just Kids
