WARM CYCLE_25 - Hadid Derelictions COLLECTION

Abstractionist by way of the Constructivists:

A Baghdad-born woman of a cosmopolitan Iraqi family: an essential first note to know about Zaha Hadid, in just how a Middle Eastern female managed to promote a radical architectural design vision, stemming from a modern society, one that no longer exists. A similar story played out with the slicing and dicing vision of the Constructivists in Russia, who were subsumed and repressed eventually by the Soviet. Perhaps, Hadid’s Constructivist origin inspiration and family roots propelled her to never give in, to never permit “no”, permanently aware that she would otherwise be eaten by the whims of inertial, powerful male-moneyed forces ever-present. She observed the corrosive societal trends that melted the air of modernity in her home country. Alternatively, she aimed to push the boundaries of physical structural and creative possibilities, towards a futuristic spatial vision, representing a kind of geometric-based freedom from societal norms.

And by way of Modernism to KZ_K:

Modernism posits that by harnessing technology, a good modernist may allocate resources (including ourselves) more efficiently to maximize surplus, whether in the form of space, product or value. It is a utopian view of reducing form to a minimum, while envisioning new ways of seeing. If only we can look in fresh ways, we can change the world by just that act. We need to open our eyes, our ears and our minds to the hyperconnected realities of our existence. The modernist by wanting to represent the reality of modernity thus aims to fuse these two elements, to transform our new perceptions into creative forms representative of the vision itself. As such, Hadid’s envisioned and built shapes are the visual prototypes that KZ_K (we) strive to incorporate into the Warm_25 Collection; her works are the conceptual and spatial elements pushing us to work within our own design discipline, to see and represent our clothes, in new ways.
