Boiling over with Futurum inspiration

These last days, I have been boiling over with inspiration. Perhaps it started when I met a friend with an incredibly cool jeans jacket last Friday - that is to say; the arm details. And not only perhaps, but surely continued while "window shopping" for new materials at Ebay the same night, continuing on the following Saturday.

I have started to sew again too, only one month after my last exhibition. Normally, I am fed up for month after a show, but a no stress gallery event is so much better for a créatrice de mode doing everything herself! No wonder more and more designers do it!

Nothing, however, in comparason to Valentino´s last big party/exhibition/show by the Colosseum some years ago. I think they discussed around 200 000 Euros for it in Valentino - the last emperor (seen last night), which is not that bad taken into consideration that a NYFW show is said to cost almost 100 000 and inummerous A list celebrities and famous models were present at the lavish location.

In contrast, I shall not reveal how much the tiny Lucifer exhibition in August costed, but one always have to look at the great ones for inspiration and not stick with a modest "happy as small" mindset!

To bring the inspiration down to earth again, I have been purchasing new beads today. So inexpensive I added two large bracelets for myself too, to make any outfit a statement outfit:



Some instant happiness purchased for 45 Euros at Perlehuset.

PS: This does really not "reveal" anything to copycats about materials for future collections. I don´t do collections anymore, as I find that too commercial and, to be honest, a bit fake when I design to express myself and not necessarily sell (couture collections are more for established designers in money hubs abroad, with a regular clientèle that can afford tailored dresses from for example 6000 to 180 000 Euros). Instead I mix all kinds of art into projects happening at cityscape locations, in galleries, and on runways. So, these beads are actually for an ongoing project the public have seen excerpts from before, even in an Indian fashion magazine:

LCF, creating a stir at Oslo West


The first pictures from the LCF exhibition during Oslo Trend are now out: 


The event was dedicated to the fallen angel, Lucifer and was hosted by a horned designer with priest collar, to emphasize the inverted sacral of it all. The venue was the artist-managed LYNX gallery in Frognerparken.



First, guests were welcomed by an invert crusader whos pendant communicated one of the seven Satanic deeds (commonly known as deadly sins, some of them can also be regarded as Wolffman brand values).



He was soon joined by a fallen angel in a Lucifer sigil embroidered top specially made for the occasion. The blonde runway model was styled in more glam-like way, but keeping the original Hel/Dorian Gray//Phantom of the Opera inspired make up theme. 777 people were reached in this picture crusade, by the way.





The sigil of Lucifer also decorated one of the specially made LCF silk tops, here displayed on another devil, as well as i.a. the body of the LCF photo shoot model. Also these pictures were taken at Frognerparken:



Red carpets, press walls and VIPs were banned. Instead, as stated in the invitations, the LYNX gallery was turned into a dark temple. It was decorated with live models, photo art on metal boards, fashion creations on black mannequins, a sensational painting (also known as The D), a floor pentagram ... And Lucifer himself.




We can assure you that no other fashion event in Norway have had children cry with fear! No other fashion event has made the public yell and shout in enthusiasm in the streets either! - Surely an evening to remember!

Finally, a new blog!

Due to the fact that less original designers copied details I revealed before my fashion shows, I lost motivation to continue my former blog, dedicated collection inspiration and my fashion shows. But then you have seamstresses and dress makers on one side, and artists on the other. 

Neither authenticy or a life can be copied: I have many style experiences off and on the runway, parttake in a lot of fashion and costume events worldwide, have loads of inspiration, and many thoughts on fashion and beauty. A true horn of plenty, in other words. Welcome to Rudy Wolff - living fashion!
