Fredrich Gray presented a collection of minimalist lines and shapes using technologically advanced fabrics and precision tailoring to create an interface between one medium and another.
The aggressive sculpture with splintered edges that was created for the runway, was indeed fitting of what was to show for SS2010.
The garments reflected an aggressive energy with an electrifying intensity. Drawing inspiration from heavy metal music, sculpture and art installations, designer BEN POLLITT has created a refreshingly original unique 'black' aesthetic.
Body con minis were skin tight which contrasted with sheer muscle tanks and cape like jackets. Scarfs were completely oversized and wrapped around the shoulders like a SARI. Leather was featured in a consistent manner, as were wools, sheer cottons and silk organzas.
Loose tailored 'man style' shorts, oversized loose knits and soft organza paneled dresses gave the collection the perfect delicate contrast.
Pollitt's cuts are his own, they are timeless yet completely original. His clothing is functional yet it still pushes boundaries of the human form. He has a distinctive creative vision that is shown through his exaggerated moodiness and experimental use of fabrics.
A minimalist vision has emerged from FREDRICH GRAY.
