Jordan Gogos’ collaboration with Akira Isogawa helped him realise the fluidity of his style. The resulting show is a mind-meld of the pair’s diametrically opposed tastes: minimalism against maximalism, stillness against electrifying movement, subtle refinements against towering gestures to the lurid and profane.
For this show, Gogos applied that same sense of experimental zeal to Isogawa’s fabrics. Mountains of tulle feature in the collection – matted, painted, and torn with a careful equilibrium between delicacy and delirium.There is a method to the madness. All of the fabric was hand-worked – in painstaking processes. “Having a team of people changed things,” says Gogos – who, earlier in his career, manipulated a lot of the textiles himself.
The fabrics in Gogos’ show feature everything from repurposed school uniforms to scraps from a closing-down warehouse, as well as his compression technique - where fabric remnants are pressed together in an uncanny fashion, resulting in a new fabric which almost, but doesn’t quite, resemble the old.As they worked together, Isogawa became a mentor to Gogos. The younger artist would tell stories of “crazy things that I feel like, as a designer, just happen to you,” says Gogos.
