My jaw literally fell open when I first saw a clip of Fredrik Tjærandsen BA presentation for Central Saint Martins, the London art college. The Norwegian fashion designer and visual artist’s graduate collection featured inflatable latex balloons around models’ arms, legs, and torsos. Some of the pieces transformed into somewhat more conventional latex dresses as models floated down the runway.
Fittingly, the out-of-this-world collection was accompanied by Mica Levi’s gorgeous and haunting soundtrack to Jonathan Glazer’s 2014 sci-fi horror film, Under the Skin.
