This is the Jaiden rVa James Fall/Winter 2009 lookbook. It is called ‘Human Nature’ and it is fucking brilliant.
The ‘Human Nature’ press release explains, “The collection, drawing inspiration heavily from iconic films such as Hamlet, Hannibal, Clockwork Orange and Girl Interrupted, comprises of floral cotton pleated kilts, a diverse range of rubber leggings and cotton floral shirts contrasted with pleated panels playing with texture and colour. Bias cut sheer stretch jersey tops are seen with outsized long sleeves, leather harnesses and restricting straight jackets.”
The photography of ‘Human Nature’ is by Rafael Stahelin and styling by Kim Howells. The models are Rufus Dunningham and Alexis Caught.
The designers explain, “Exposed Zips plays a huge part in the collection from the zips at the crotch of the rubber leggings to those on the plackets of the shirts. Having zips on display are very seductive, knowing that with just one pull it can lead to a place that is hidden behind a layer”.
