AXV Suits

  • Anouk van de Sande

Travel through distorted time frames in graphic landscapes. When we move, we blend or stand out. As small bodies in space, we hide and seek, merge or emerge. The suits are AnoukxVera's first full body garments, which are executed in two versions; the color block suits and the gradient suits. Both play with silhouette and contrast; whereas the colorblock suits have been designed to partly camouflage the wearer in a multicolor landscape, the gradient suits redefine the wearers silhouette. The suits fits like a second skin, which enables the print's deforming and alienating effect. The suits were originally designed for the Food Experience during Dutch Design Week 2017 (Eindhoven, The Netherlands). This was a collaborative event with the Creative Food Studio, for which AnoukxVera also functioned as creative directors and concept developers. The suits, worn by the restaurant workers, transformed accordingly with each food course, representing it's graphic language and colorpalet.
