alexandre plohkov : cloak redux.



alexandre plokhov is back after a four-year hiatus. after all those wistful cigarettes and longing glances at the [now-defunct] cloak boutique from the fire escape outside nadja's bedroom window, so stoked so stoked so stoked that i might actually be able to snatch up some of his stuff this time around. (employment-pending, of course.) 

sidenote: won't lie, not the biggest fan of this radially-symmetric, mirror-mayhem gimmick that seems to be running rampant through recent video editorials. the effect worked beautifully for pugh, abstracting the human form into evocative geometries, creating a spiny, reptilian darkness in keeping with the ambiance of the actual garments; here, it just distracts the hell out of me.

still, i covet all the outerwear. am i a coat-addict?
