Yesterday while performing the daily ritual of stylingdotcoming I happened to stumble across a man.
A man so amazing I had to blog about.
A man named Mark Fast.
Mark Fast is a Canadian knit wear graduate from Central St. Martins.
This is his second collection.
He is possibly the most inspirational new talent there is.
His collection is amazing and almost scary. It is daring and beautiful. Who thought you could create clothes as intricate and detailed as this. Especially in knit wear. The boundaries are obviously endless.
When I came across the collection, I was speechless the clothes are just so beautiful they are breath taking.
Something I think he has done so well is making the colour scheme so simple. For clothes as wonderful as this I think it is right not to add colour, otherwise I feel it is too much to take in. The collection would loose it's touch on your sences because you would see the colour and not the detail.
It is honestly like wearing a piece of art.
Another part of this collection that had people talking, was his angered stylist who quit over his use of three plus size models. I as one do not have a problem with thin models, as I think their bodies are more diverse when it comes to showning clothes. But I am also not against the use of plus size models.
Saying this though, I feel Mark Fast has not used the models for the right reasons. I feel he has used them as a statement, a statement that he is breaking the "rules" and going outside the box, but I don't think he used them to really show the clothes the their full potential, to make a women of size 16 to walk down a catwalk in a tight holey dress, that PERSONALLY I think would of been more suited to a smaller model. I think clothes this beautiful should be flattered by whoever is wearing them. And some clothes just don't do curves.
All this siad and done. The collection is amazing and I look foreward to seeing this man develope as a designer!!!!
