nicomede7 Introducing | Nicomede Talavera

Nicomede Talav­era is a London-​​based designer cur­rently in his place­ment year as a Cen­tral Saint Martin’s BA Menswear Fash­ion Design stu­dent. As of recent, Talav­era is intern­ing with other design­ers in Lon­don, New York and Paris before return­ing for his final year of stud­ies in 2010. 2010 also marks the debut of Talavera’s fourteen-​​look cap­sule col­lec­tion for spring inspired by pho­to­dy­namic pho­tog­ra­phy and futur­ism. Arturo and Anton Giulio Bragaglia’s 1911 por­trait Search­ing and Slap was the ini­tial source of inspi­ra­tion, but con­tin­ued research pro­vided other outlets.

Look­ing to illus­trate in his designs gar­ments that could com­pare to the appro­pri­ate­ness of “move­ment; a tragic pause, a ges­ture of ter­ror, the entire scene, the com­plete exter­nal unfold­ing of an inti­mate drama…[all] expressed in one sin­gle work”, Talav­era sur­veyed the work of many artists. Eva Hesse’s Acces­sion II inspired the embell­ished col­lars and shorts, while Larry Bell’s 20 Glass Tube acted as the moti­va­tion for a tonal color palette that resulted in metal­lic pan­el­ing, col­lars and waist­bands. Finally, the shapes of Mel Bochner’s work helped shape the cut of the sleeves and over­all sil­hou­ettes. Alto­gether, the var­i­ous ele­ments come together to cre­ate a mod­ern col­lec­tion with sub­tle hints of futur­ism. Mohair and waf­fle knits pro­vide tex­ture, while neo­prene and nylon break away from tra­di­tion, offer­ing diver­sity and the feel of move­ment – life.
