WARM CYCLE_26 - MACHINE-À-PORTER

KZ_K REIMAGINES/REPHRASES CORBU FOR DESIGNERWEAR:

“IF WE ELIMINATE FROM OUR HEARTS AND MINDS ALL THE DEAD CONCEPTS IN REGARD TO READY-TO-WEAR, AND LOOK AT THE QUESTION FROM A CRITICAL AND OBJECTIVE POINT OF VIEW, WE SHALL ARRIVE AT THE “CLOTHING MACHINE”, THE UNIFORM OF MODERNITY, HEALTHY (AND MORALLY SO TOO) AND BEAUTIFUL IN THE SAME WAY THAT THAT THE WORKING TOOLS AND INSTRUMENTS WHICH ACCOMPANY OUR EXISTENCE ARE BEAUTIFUL.”

“BUT SUPPOSE THAT FABRIC STRETCHES TOWARDS HEAVEN IN SUCH A WAY THAT I AM MOVED. I PERCEIVE YOUR INTENTIONS…[MY EYES] BEHOLD SOMETHING WHICH EXPRESSES A THOUGHT..BY THE USE OF RAW MATERIALS AND STARTING FROM CONDITIONS MORE OR LESS UTILITARIAN, YOU HAVE ESTABLISHED CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS WHICH HAVE AROUSED MY EMOTIONS. THIS IS DESIGNERWEAR.”

-KZ_K’S V2.0 OF LE CORBUSIER, VERS UN ARCHITECTURE, 1923

FOUNDER’S NOTE:

LE CORBUSIER’S REVOLUTIONARY CREATIVE THINKING MODES PRECEDED THE POWER PLAYS OF ANDY WARHOL AND DAVID BOWIE: TO (RE)INVENT YOURSELF AND YOUR PRODUCTS, TO RADICALIZE A PRESENT TO THE POSSIBILITIES OF A FUTURE INTRIGUINGLY CRITICAL OF THE PAST. KZ_K, AS BEFITS OUR DESIGN DISCIPLINE (“MODERNIST MULTI-FUNCTIONALITY”), HAVE EXPLORED THE MIND, MEANS, METHODS AND PROJECTS (VILLA SAVOYE IN POISSY, AND UNITÉ D’HABITATION IN MARSEILLE) OF CORBU TO UNEARTH CONCEPTUAL, COMMUNICATIVE AND TECHNICAL ROOTS. THE GOAL: PROPEL OUR CLOTHING DESIGN. MINIMALIST, COLORFUL, TECHNICALLY INNOVATIVE; LAYERED, TEXTURED, ILLUSIONS OF LIGHTNESS; TECH-BASED WHITE, SCULPTURAL, CONVERTIBLE: ALL HIGHLIGHTS OF (HIS PROJECT) ELEMENTS WE’VE WORKED INTO OUR WARM CYCLE_26 COLLECTION, “MACHINE-À-PORTER.” ALWAYS IN THE SERVICE OF OUR CLIENTS, FOR YOUR ONGOING (AND FINAL) USE AND PERSONALIZATION.

NOUS ESPÉRONS QUE VOUS AIMEREZ
