LONDON'S FORWARD THINKING FASHION IS FEELING BLUE

This photo was taken from houseoforganza.com, as my phone died on the day and left me camera-less.

HOUSE OF ORGANZA returns for their third season with 'Muse' where a team of hand picked creatives have made bespoke pieces, inspired by a poem recorded by fashion figure, My Roy, where he recites his own vision of the colour blue. His vocal response to his favorite hue of blue was itself inspired by Yves Klein and his concentration on the colour since his 'Proposte Monochrome, Epoca Blu' exhibition.

I was unaware about the HOG collective until i was working Ella Dror PR's press day where the collection debuted last week, initially confused more by Roy's poem which was playing on loop through blue headphones to the left of the set.

The projects curators are stylist Kim Howells and designer Lyall Hakaraia who bring together the talent, personality and inspiration of different disciplines to focus on interpreting one vision which could either result in something beautiful or disastrous but either way, exciting. Last season HOG produced a mythical looking gold collection inspired by the folklore surrounding Elizabeth I.

From left to right on the picture above, of this seasons collection, is Fred Butler's extravagant ruffles, Lyall Harkaraia's harness, Piers Atkinson (whom my interview with is on my last post)'s headpiece and Dr Noki's hood. The pieces come together and look suitably like performance art which Yves Klein was a pioneer of. 

A fashion film and exhibition is coming in Summer where My Roy will be modelling the clothes but until then the houseoforganza.com went live last week, here you can view a complete guide to HOG, its past collections and news.
