Titled Exotica, this was the latest from a label founded in 2012 by sisters Carol and Sarah Piron from Liège, Belgium. Carol explained, “It’s something about Showgirls, TV shows, plastic tropics, this kind of stuff: karaoke culture.”
This was very contemporarily designed influencer-influential fare via lots of cutting and pasting that revealed flashes of wit. The signature distorted skinny denim—introduced in Resort—that transfers hip pockets to the front and vice versa is a cool thing that can be infinitely reissued in different fabrications. Denim trucker tanks with satin tuxedo-lapel inserts felt less novel, as did white nylon popper-armed baseball-trucker hybrids. A T-shirt featuring a cute feline photo, which Carol cut from the Internet, below the text Meow Meow was either a kiss blown to mephedrone —isn’t that over?—or just some random meme.
