Mortal remains in form of accessories? Yes. Although we are a little put off by the thought of accessories being made of the remains of human corpses such as hair and cremated ashes, these pieces by aspiring designer Anna Schwamborn are so beautifully made that we are inclined to put our concerns aside. Schwamborn describes her collection as a reminder of the fragility and appreciation of life. Worn close to the body, these objects are meant to act as a keepsake, symbolizing a lasting physical connection between two individuals even after death has parted them.
To those more into wearing animalistic not human remains, we would like to point out Schwamborn’s most recent piece, “The Hunter” which takes its inspiration from the basic instinct of animals that make themselves appear more impressive and threatening by raising their fur and arching their backs in order to scare off enemies. Incorporating an almost conventional selection of materials such as pony fur, baby-goat skin, ram horns, human hair, aluminum and brass, the piece consists of seven elements that can also be worn separately. Maybe we should wear this at the next fashion week, to secure our front row seats. (IR)
