For autumn/winter 2010-11, Austrian designer Ute Ploier strikes a relationship between man and his work, illustrating the point that, nowadays, work often entails a process rather than a concrete product.Focusing on abstract procedures, man can lack the sensual connection between creator and creation.
Inspired by craftsmen like glassblowers and blacksmiths, the collection takes us back to the roots of working men.
Geometric shapes, soft materials, and the draping so typical of Ute’s touch all complete the collection.
Ute Ploier launched her eponymous label in 2003 after winning best menswear collection at the Hyères Festival of Fashion.
