Writing about fashion is an infrequent occurrence for me, but when the clothes are beautiful and the shots are just right, it’s too good an opportunity to pass up. This surprising series of photographs comes from the graduate men’s collection entitled tu n’auras pas d’autre icône que moi et tu mangeras ton père (You won’t have any other icon than me and you’ll eat your father) by recent HEAD Geneva fashion graduate XENIA LAFFELY.

The garments themselves feature intricate prints, intriguing tailored layers and vivid colours in a progressive sartorial silhouette.

Bearded faces. The father in classic suits and the religious man in ceremonial dress.
They have haunted me through the process of this collection. I borrowed some
attributes of each one, to build on their ashes a third figure ; my own icon, the
unworthy son, rebellious, flamboyant. The witness of my emancipation. I
designed him a new skin, the beards have become prints, interspersed with embroidery
of or- thodox cassocks and woolen masculine suits. Then cut along the lines of
classical suits. And I colored the scarves, leggings and jackets with Stabilo,
to bring him to life. A graphic and sentimental character, wacky and unpredictable
appeared. My own icon. – XENIA LAFFELY
