The designer called the collection “Out of My Mind.” Yet the clothes were powerful for their sensibility to the churning world: the Egyptian Revolution as a simple dress made from a beach towel printed with the mask of Tutankhamen; a burka reworked as a top; a ribbed dress made from an Alexander McQueen leather coat; or outfits created with his great-grandmother’s nightdress or from the American flag.

Mr. Adrover imagined the show as a travel bag of clothes ejected from a plane flying over the Amazon, worn by people with no reference point on the origin, use or status of their finds. The result was a collection that was apolitical, yet throbbed with a sense of global upheaval.

For the past decade and a half I have been making all my content available for free (and never behind a paywall) as an ongoing practice of ephemeral publishing. This site is no exception. If you wish to help offset my labor costs, you can donate on Paypal or you can subscribe to Patreon where I will not be putting my posts behind a lock but you'd be helping me continue making this work available for everyone. Thank you.  Follow me on Twitter for new post updates.
