Angela Strabone
Fashion DesignerGauantanamo Bay is not the first thing that comes to mind when you look at high brow menswear. Nor should it be. Unless you’re Angela Strabone and your fashion sense is inspired by current events at the depths of painful realities.
By no means is this fresh out of school, German-born diva a human rights activist, nor a political savant. But she definitely has an edge for dressing men as she kicks a few fashion walls to grab her audience.
Art, film, period pieces and excotic lands are not the foundation of beauty in stitching materials and concepts together for Ms. Strabone. Torture rather. Leaning towards strong personal matters for creative inspiration, she incorporated psychological torture into her debut collection. Her demand for eminent detail is apparent in her raised pattern representing veins and brain waves.
There is a clear effort to make her concept visual and almost interactive as you can feel what appears to be ropes used to build the blood veins as apart of her templar-meets-naughty-prince vest.A big fan of Italian leather and intrigued with her country’s past, her creative direction is a wide open path for exploring personal themes and threading them with exquisite materials. Her work in progress aims to incorporate the Made In Italy mark and give rise to Made In Germany.
Sustainability
The FoundationWe are concerned about your health and only use materials which we are sure won't cause you any health damage. Clothing is supposed to be a second skin, we hold on to this belief. Moreover we make sure that the garments won't be made in the hands of a child and that everybody who will work with us (directly and indirectly) will be paid an adequate salary. Nobody should suffer from famine, just so that we can fill up our wardrobe.
Artigkeit
The ConceptThe young. The fresh. A line that you would wear as an adolescent and then again when you grow up, at which point you graduate to the "Angela Strabone" line. High brow fashion. Both lines aim to fullfill the aspect of sustainability.
As a student Strabone was always torn between two wardrobes. Too old to dress like a teen. Too young to dress classic. And so Artigkeit was born. Young enough to feel light-hearted, old enough to be taken seriously. Finish studying by day in Artigkeit and go stark post work by eve in Angela Strabone. The serious side of life has reached you but you can't loose your individuality and authenticity. So you go Strabone, Angela Strabone and keep your unique. Pro.
