QASIMI Autumn / Winter 2017 Collection
The main inspiration for the Autumn / Winter 2017 collection came from the "Bed In" protest by John Lennon and Yoko Ono in 1969, which took place in ROOM 702 of the Amsterdam Hilton hotel. A silent protest that sparked ideas of the interior / exterior of the bedroom and of the streets. Breaking down concepts of military sartorialism and fluid loungewear has led to the establishment of comfort as the new order. The early 1960's brutalist architecture inspired new construction techniques, exposing the rawness of the garments by using the reverse side of the fabrics. Oversized shapes were influenced by the monumentality of the buildings whilst still having a soft and protective quality. Traditional military garments, such as the field jacket and cargo trousers have been treated in fluid viscose to soften the aggression derived from the rising militarization of the state.
