This season, HANGER takes inspiration from the clean up operations of crude oil . Oil is laquered onto overalls and mask what lies underneath.
Here, latex bonds with wool in a clear juxtaposition of texture. The slick rubber is laid upon the woven fabric like oil onto the the coastline.
The effect is one which leads to the suggestion of natural vs synthetic, contradicting rubber’s natural and renewable properties.
The versatility of latex allows it to be worn:
heavily talced - matte
highly polished - gloss
