GERRIT JACOB F/W 23 “SCUM”
Gerrit Jacob’s eponymous label channels queer aggression and seeks meaning in stark contrasts for its Fall / Winter 23 collection titled “SCUM.” The presentation, centered around diverging combinations of youthful optimism and mature degeneracy, elaborates on the visual, material and conceptual codes presented in the designer’s previous collections. Gerrit Jacob’s work stands for Bright colorful gum colors applied to different fabrics and different silhouettes and its constant duality. Within these double-edged sensibilities, navigation of identity, queer aggression, and insistent idiosyncrasy, appear as core themes throughout the collection – channeling frustrations of 21st.

VANS X COLLINA STRADA COLLECTION
The iconic skate brand Vans releases together with the New York label Collina Strada a new collection that stands for authenticity and exclusivity, a footwear, apparel and accessories collection for the Spring 2023 Season. The playful expression of Collina Strada is clearly visible in the collection. Each piece exudes individuality and positivity.

CARHARTT WIP RADIO X DJ GIGOLA
The monthly Carhartt WIP Radio show presents DJ Gigola and the Berlin-based label Live From Earth this February. DJ Gigola’s music moves between fast and hardcore techno and trance. The interview is about her plans for the future, her work in the Berlin collective, musical influences and what will shape the sound soon. Growing up in the German capital, she came into contact with the party scene in her youth, but back then, she couldn’t imagine being behind the DJ booth one day. Today she plays in renowned clubs like Paloma Bar, OHM and Wilde Renate and is part of the collective Live From Earth. DJ Gigola’s dance album Fluid Meditations will be released on February 3rd. She has prepared a unique mix for the radio show that differs from her debut album and leans more towards the new.

CHRISTINA SEEWALD SS23 CAMPAIGN
Christina Seewald’s SS23 collection is all about transformation, movement, the indeterminacy of gender and blurred boundaries of identity: following the stories of Daphne and Apollo, and Hermaphroditus. Inspired by Greek mythology, the garments are reminiscent of marble statues. In the knitwear designs, deep cuts and sheer materials show the contrast between restraint and emancipation; flowing fabrics and constricting belts tell the story of sexual freedom as well as repression. The brand works with elastic yarn, which is why these moments of unveiling, skirt lifting or the effect of a gathered fabric can be staged so well. In collaboration with jewellery designer Freya Douglas Ferguson, the brand created jewellery for the collection for the first time. The campaign was shot at the Kunsthistorisches Museum in Vienna, where an antique collection can be visited.
