For autumn/winter 2010, Spanish label Ana Locking explores destinations and perspectives of pleasure—the development of an aesthetic canon—in a collection entitled “Spinning Destiny.”The young designer spins her vibrantly colored collection of destiny into an existential refection on fate and the human nature.
Ana ponders on whether fashion, as an expression, can be an instrument that interprets our fears and desires without sacrificing its inherent allure, aesthetic, and sensual pleasure.
She reflects on the opposite; that is, whether this “Beauty of Guilt” has no other choice but to “dissolve into the bitter impotence of form.”
The richness in color of Ana Locking’s 2010 autumn/winter collection is a mere reflection of her profound contemplations concerning destiny.
Her kaleidoscope of colorful meditations on the impact of fate on human nature and how it ultimately affects the makeup of our personality raises an important question.
“What part of the future depends on chance and what part depends on our character?”
Ana González was born 1970 in Toledo, Spain, and studied at the Faculty of Fine Arts in Madrid. Winner of multiple awards, Ana founded Ana Locking in 2008.
