concept
The collection focuses on exploring the boundaries and limits of meaning. Deciding to fill garments with as many ideas as possible. Wanting viewers to make their own assumptions about the clothes' meaning and about what inspired their creation. The answers he received were varied: some said the clothes looked like couture armour, others saw tribal ritualistic influences and some even defined it as alien craftsmanship. This variety of opinions was exactly what Alexander was looking for: not the designer communicating a concept to the viewer, but the other way around.
