Karin Viktoria Bjurstrom (try saying that three times fast) has brought 1920s animation into fashion with her series ‘Cartoon Trompe L’Oeil.’ This cartoon couture features black and white contrasting pieces.
In her cartoon couture, Bjurstrom succeeds in making it look like early animation came through the screen and onto these pieces. Cartoon couture would be a great look, if it wasn’t just a tad reminiscent of Christopher Lloyd in ‘Who Framed Roger Rabbit.’
This project aims to transfer the simple, expressive content of early black & white animations into fashion, in order to create a collision between imagination and reality. The content in these old films has the perfect mix of humor, sex and fear. They form an interesting imitation of reality, where anything can happen.
