Siki Im's 2016 Fall/Winter Collection Looks Into Your Fears
Inspired by vampires and all things dark.
“The collection is about my fascination with vampires, watching movies like ‘The Hunger’ and ‘From Dusk Till Dawn.’ But I went even further, looking at our fears. We all have certain darkness and the question is embracing that and hopefully through that process finding liberation,” says Siki Im. The designer has long been a fan of a darker contemporary aesthetic, having worked under Karl Lagerfeld at Helmut Lang before launching his eponymous label. With the intention of creating strong and raw pieces, the collection boasts a variety of premium materials including cashmere and leather, expertly manipulated to emulate many textures. Having been trained in architecture, Im’s creations are often structured and urban, and are definitely not for the simple dresser.
