The clothing we use to swaddle and encase our bodies is our way of coping with the reality we inhabit. Shield and weapon in one. What we wear creates a relationship between the self and the collective existence; it provides a camouflage. A secret place for our self-denominated alien-like features. If a fashion piece could simultaneously blend in and make a statement, this would be it.
An interplay between self-perception and self-projection, culminating in comfortable, wearable harmony.
Who – Svenja Specht, creator of Reality Studio (Berlin), since 2005. Fashion and product designer with previous stints in Paris, Cologne and Beijing.
What – Women’s wear. Ever-present jumpsuits and wraps in colourful concoctions of silk, knits and wool. The collection springs from the collaborative fabric print -Cosmic Camouflage- by painter Michael Kalki (www.michaelkalki.de).
Why – Because there’s an alien in all of us, and she loves to play dress-up.

Preparing the stage for Trentemøller
Henrik Vibskov Interns; Emilie and Jone are taking a well deserved break.
Back in 1893, when the original Hammerthor quality was established, following the latest fashion was not so crucial. In those days, customers were more concerned with quality.As clothes were expected to last for many years, it was important that they were durable and practical. These basic principles are what they still live up to at Hammerthor.
Over the last twenty or so years, Rei Kawakubo and her Comme des Garçons label have been responsible for designing some of the most wildly creative clothes in fashion history. Now however, it's back to basics for a collaboration of underthings with the century-old Danish clothier Hammerthor. The Comme des Garçons SHIRT line shows a collection of briefs, tanks, and T-shirts in signature logo prints and polka dots—or classic gray, navy, black and white.
