Andreja
Bristricic and Maja Merlic are the duo designers behind the creative label
Dioralop. Inspired by Polaroid pictures created by international spills of chemicals and exposing them to
different temperatures, their signature in every
collection is continued with their SS15 collection today at Fashion
Scout.
A multitude of
colliding textures, prominent cut-outs and separations in the fabric are used
throughout the collections. Garments featured Polaroid pictures subjected to extreme temperatures of digital print patterns. Pieces were in
monochromatic black and white while prints were mixed with embroidery.
When it came to the silhouette, the pair maintained their aesthetic. Tearing materials and connecting it back together, difference was lost between the sexes and the clean lines of the cuts were retained.
Expressive yet simple there are elements of hems, one shoulder pieces, cut outs
and wide leg trousers that add to the flavour. Artistically exceptional, with consistent colour tone appreciation throughout, Dioralop took full control with their SS15 collection.
The designer’s aesthetic creates a bold
look for uncompromising, aware and individual women. They exploited the
difference between genders and androgyny and showed a sense of the new generation of street fashion
and subculture.
