The Lake & Stars in New York Mag

Tsdy Dec.4.2007 1:30pm | by lvhrd

As part of their feature on the anniversary of the brassiere New York Magazine talked to FSHN DL IV competitors Nikki Dekker and Maayan Zilberman about their lingerie line, The Lake & Stars.

“Our stuff is comfortable enough to wear under a t-shirt,” says Nicki.

“Or for, um, sexy time,” adds Maayan.

The Lake & Stars specializes in the essential feminine luxury of undergarments, not utilitarian workhorse conversion bras.

“I had one of those (eight-ways-to-wear-it-bras) in college and I could never figure out more than two ways to wear it,” says Nikki.

FSHN DL IV: the scenario

Mndy Nov.5.2007 8:02pm | by lvhrd

At FSHN DL IV we made paper the world’s most valuable material in the face of vanishing natural resources: no more trees.

Human beings, left to survive in an apocalyptic landscape, naturally became zombies to cope with the lack of food and shelter.

Thus we tasked designers from Eventide and The Lake & Stars with creating evening wear out of the only textile left on the planet: old fashion magazines.

The results were stunning, and surprisingly functional. Who needs Uniqlo? Bring on global warming! We could do without the whole zombification thing though.…

On TSDY, October 30th, LVHRD hosted an orgy of the macabre at Dewar’s Master-Disaster FSHN DL IV: UNDD BLL.

Teams of designers from Eventide and The Lake & Stars, brought together by LVHRD’s media partner Refinery29, faced each other in a one hour duel, creating evening wear on live models from old fashion magazines, glue, and electrical tape in front of a crowd of zombies.

In this TMLPS of the event you will see the Undead horde slowly fill Midtown Loft and get a feel for what it’s like to create…

FSHN DL IV: UNDD BLL

Wdnsdy Oct.31.2007 4:18pm | by lvhrd

Last night at Midtown Loft, an intrepid mob of sartorial somnambulists gathered for the Dewar’s Master-Disaster FSHN DL IV: UNDEAD BALL, curated by Refinery 29.com.

Following a brief elevator ride, guests were welcomed into a loft-space that glowed blood-red. There have been rumours that the party’ glowed red because a haunted river of blood flowed behind the venue’s walls; others attribute the crimson halo to red gels placed over eight old office lamps. There’s no way to be sure.

LVHRD members explored the space slowly, as zombies often do, enjoying…

FSHN DL IV: Ghoul Couture: Cybergoria

Mndy Oct.29.2007 1:48pm | by lvhrd

Since living forever can be hell if you don’t have the right clothes to wear, we’ll be looking at the evolution of monster fashion in the weeks leading up to FSHN DL IV: UNDD BLL.

While not technically immortal, or even monsters, cyborgs, robots, and androids can be all the more terrifying because humans created them, often with the best intentions.

The disturbed, remorseless android, such as Ash in the original Alien, continues to be a horrifying character. Androids who turns against their makers confirm our worst fear: that we are…

LVHRD’S FSHNDL IV

Frdy Oct.26.2007 5:33pm | by lvhrd

In October 2007 at Midtown Loft, an intrepid mob of sartorial somnambulists gathered for the Dewar’s Master-Disaster FSHN DL IV: UNDEAD BALL, curated by Refinery 29.com. For our Fourth Annual Fashion Duel we imagined a future where deforestation had turned paper into mankind’s most precious resource, and thus the most desirable material for couture clothing.
