FASHION LOVES A GOOD CLOWN

Fling open the whimsical gates of Polka Dot Town! The black-and-white yet colourful collection by designer Noémi Špontáková is awash in layers of dots of various diameters and placements, resulting in a lovely tingling sensory chaos for the viewers. Noémi describes her individual looks as a set of collectables, each chosen and styled with a specific model in mind.

WHAT NOÉMI SAID ABOUT HER COLLECTION / The collection entitled “Have you ever been to a polkadot town?” presents a fictional world full of playful, fairytale-like immediacy, which I brought to the catwalk in the form of six polka-dot characters who are the inhabitants of the most unmissable polka-dot town. The straightforward visuals in the form of polka dot screen prints represented one of the two aesthetic lines of the collection. The other was represented by the models themselves, each character carefully chosen for their strong and obvious visual language.

In the editorial, the individual figures are rendered to look like collectable figurines, each with its own specific character and naming. For this reason, they come with a sticker. Just as the sticker can be peeled off the plastic figures, the image can work just as well without it.
