Icelandic Designer Jet Korine works with an innate sense of colour,
line and form that reflect an inner-world of defined creative thought in
design.
Together they coalesce as a totally individual style
that is
simultaneously bespoke, inexplicably new and undeniably hers.
Her winter 09’ collection of coats- desgined to be worn
in a variety
of ways- as a blanket, a wrap, a cape,
a hooded cloak- it is made clear
that Jet Korine’s work is concerned
with very high level of lateral
thinking not only in the definition of a garment,
but also in the
potential of a garment and ultimately the longevity of a garment;
ideas
completely at odds with many current fashion trends and design.
This
Collection ‘#02 Life Coat’ boldy marks her design concept
with these
different motives- as the title suggests-
it is a garment designed to
last a lifetime.
The materials selected for this work equally laboured
over-
on one hand ‘#02 Life Coat’ is organic and beautiful-
detail all
individually dyed and hand sewn,
and yet it is infinitely tough and
thoroughly capable of enduring
the wear and tear of a ‘life’.
