Photography Russ McClintockFashion / ShowAstrid Andersen SS15Masculinity has no boundaries: showing a softer side with sunset-hued, sumo-inspired streetwearShareLink copied ✔️June 15, 2014FashionShowTextIsabella BurleyPhotographyRuss McClintockAstrid Andersen SS15 Initial reaction: Andersen's army of sumo-inspired street fighters, that only emerge at sunset. The starting point: “The picture on the invitation is from the first sumo match I went to. It was amazing; a delicate process clashed against this super aggressive 5 seconds. It’s not really about the actual sport; it’s everything around it, aesthetically and historically. It’s sensitive and fragile, and there is a sense of really trying to keep this tradition alive – even the hair takes half a day to do.” – Astrid Andersen. Masculinity has no boundaries: Silhouettes – like karate and kimono-inspired wrap tops – were borrowed from Japanese culture and rebranded with Andersen’s name. Continuing her seasons-long exploration into the interplay of masculine and feminine, Andersen worked lace, neoprene and mink in unexpected ways, with macho models wearing basketball vests of purple fur and sheer, sunset-saturated mesh. The soundtrack to Astrid Andersen SS15: Last season saw Andersen send sexualised streetwear down the runway, with long hair resting on exposed shoulders.
