Designer Miguel Adrover presented in New
York this season, his first show in the city in eight years. The clothes were
assembled by hand from found materials and discarded garments, as were the
clothes in his debut collection back in 1999. All of the pieces are one-offs with no plans for them to go into production – but I
think it’s wonderful to see this perspective, no? Adrover’s work artfully
addresses the politics of consumption by offering an alternative vernacular for
contemporary dressing. As a 'mo vintage blogger I’m intrigued by his nuanced ideas,
put forth in the clothes, regarding fabrication, reuse and even
political-sexual identity. Plus, I’d die for those pants in picture four –
there’s like, five belts on them. Damn!
