“EXTREME REGIME” x HOTOVELI x PRIESTESS NYC
(A fashion exhibit during Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week New York S/S 2012. On
through October 01)
PRIESTESS NYC creative director Cody Ross and Michael Adjiashvili, founder
of luxury retailer Hotoveli New York, present a jaw-dropping sartorial
exhibit that spans the entirety of Hotoveli New York’s plush minimalist
interior. “Extreme Regime” explores paradox, pop-culture,
surrealism, eroticism and fashion and is enveloped in trans-media madness,
sexual fetishism and a serious wallop of artisanship.
Messrs Adjiashvili and Ross aptly engage with inflammatory subjects and
employ subversive strategies to combine impeccably constructed garments,
interior decor and readymades that defiantly arouse, amuse and dismay.
The surrealistic oomph and black humor that characterize the installation
is undercut by the rigorous craftsmanship, amazing styling and painstaking
conceptual and physical labor evident in their execution (not to mention a
good deal of mind-blowing multi-media including an over-the-top video
montage by collaborator and visual doyen Gian Mazcour).
Hotoveli is NYC’s leading specialty fashion retailer, offering a rarified
assortment of avant-garde brands and the most unique edit of the best in
womenswear, menswear, shoes, accessories and novelty items from around the
world. The store easily rivals Colette in Paris or Hong Kong’s Lane
Crawford and takes the cake for its eye-popping aesthetic and cool
directional brands.
Priestess NYC is the quirky, progressive unisex label based in NYC with an
outpost in Shanghai. Creator Cody Ross favors a dramatic, almost
psychedelic aesthetic whose modern ethos fetishizes intense geometrics,
tenebrous-punk and occult references.
The exhibition (while all about creative expression, fashion and fun) aims
to unearth the contradictions and hypocrisies present in contemporary
culture, explore the relationship between commercial and avant-garde
art/fashion and redefine the relationship between body, clothing and
identity. By incorporating visceral elements and bursting energy, this
interactive life-sized montage screams with double-meaning and multiple
perspectives, allowing the creator to deny the validity of any singular
viewpoint, offering an interpretation of reality that exists in a constant
state of flux.
Check out Priestess NYC x Hotoveli New York x “Extreme Regime” at 271 West
4th Street in the West Village. On during Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week New
York S/S 2012 and ending October 01. Klosetkase was there.

1.Would you describe yourself as a metaphor, an analogy or an epiphany? How so? Analogy. I like to think of myself as a ‘monk on savile row’. That being said, the image of a monk on savile row is slightly an epiphany. 2.How does inspiration happen for you when conceptualizing for creating? Do you look for questions or create answers? I start each collection with a challenge, a question though rhetorical at times, after which I seek out the answers to my questions using my clothes as a medium. For example, ss 10 was how many ways I could reimagine a white shirt, fw 10-11 saw me throwing out traditional drafting rules; would I be right or wrong or would I rather be free? Ss 11 is interesting with its mocking undertone to the collection. I want to put across a message that ‘more is not always more’ and we want clothes to return to its purest form – construction. 3.What does fashion symbolize in your culture? Fashion like in all other cultures is an identity, a form of art, an outward expression of oneself. In Singapore interestingly, there’s a guerilla kind of fashion movement going on with us young designers wanting to have a distinct voice in the fashion scene. 4.What does it mean to be a man in fashion growing up in your family? Growing up under the influence of my seamstress mother, it was natural for me to take the fashion path, whether I am a man or a woman. 5.Fashion reminds me of...Botox. It is addictive and it only lasts 6 months. 6.Fashion feels like...Endless Hurdle race. Always chasing to the next hurdle to find out another one is drawing near. A never ending chase. 7.Fashion tastes like...Tobacco, it keeps you hooked on it and one can never ever successfully quit smoking; you’ll allow yourself to slip once in a while. 8.Fashion looks like...Swathes of moving black fabrics. 9.Fashion is...Like breathing. You don’t ask to breath, it just happens. 10.If you were stranded on a deserted island and all you could salvage was an album, a book and your favorite artist, who would it be and why? My sketch journal for my s/s 2012!

And the heavens opened up and God said, let there be a Gareth Pugh, Ruth Hogben, Mathew Stone and Natasha V collaboration to part the modern day red sea, of the perfect union of GRANDIOSE fashion, music and film. With a collection inspired by religious iconography and Florentine opulence, Gareth Pugh made his Italian fashion debut at Pitti Immagine #79, showcasing his clothes via a unique fashion film, created with Ruth Hogben.The music is by Mathew Stone with Sebastien Schlecht playing violins and the inspiration song is Ascension by Wojciech Kilar. This is a visual orgasm. Dixie Rose

I am a devout fan of Damir Domar. He has exquisite instinct for masculine form, eliciting androgyny. How his garments flow on the body, emanate a flowing, lightness of being. I especially like how he explores fashion from other cultures and allows for it to influence his own cut and design. This image above is from Interview Magazine Dec/Jan 2011. Dixie Rose
