Inspired by artist Niko Luoma, the SixLee Spring/Summer 2014 collection focuses on the symbolism of the emotional decisions that go with love. There are three main elements that define the collection, the gun, knife and ghost. With such metaphoric messages behind the clothing, it's sure to garner a diverse following.
Artistic interpretation is an often misunderstood concept in fashion. It can be hard to understand the meanings behind different design decisions when the collections become as avant-garde as this one. The SixLee Spring/Summer 2014 collection is rich with symbolism as it evokes a "feeling of being hurt and getting pain." Deriving meaning through the sophisticated emotional association of the color blue, all the while paying homage to the exquisite British tailoring, the lookbook is sincerely powerful.
