Black and red, traditionally considered as punk shades, are currently quite trendy. Red is actually the trademark colour of artist and designer Arne Quinze.
Readers of this site may remember his fragile and volatile structures that pay homage to Alexander Calder’s suspended abstract mobiles or his "Chaos in Motion" exhibition with its boxes filled with entangled wooden sticks.
There is actually a crepe miniskirt designed by Christopher Kane with a crackle-hem motif that calls to mind Quinze's "Chaosboxes" featured in his "Chaos In Motion Exhibition".
In Quinze's case the wooden stacks are usually painted red or orange and the glass case containing them has a black frame, while in this case the crackle hem motif comes out in black and the rest of the skirt is red, yet the similarity somehow seems to work. Could this be the real inspiration behind this design and can you think about any other garment from currently available collections that may be so closely linked to a work of art?
You can still discover more about Arne Quinze's pieces at the "Chaos In Motion" exhibition, At The Gallery, Antwerp (until 30th December 2013).
