New York Fashion Week | Patrik Ervell Fall 2010

Opt­ing for a pre­sen­ta­tion this sea­son, but still giv­ing his audi­ence the run­way expe­ri­ence, Patrik Ervell sent his mod­els into a flurry as they were put on con­stant rota­tion mak­ing their way through a maze-​​like setup – dis­sected by the sus­pended pieces of translu­cent fab­ric that in fact mir­rored the collection’s con­strained play­ful­ness. Fit­ted and strong on struc­ture, Ervell’s min­i­mal­ist ten­den­cies were fused with the unex­pected grace­ful­ness of soft mov­ing latex rub­ber and trans­par­ent vinyl. The prod­uct of a finely exe­cuted imag­i­na­tion, Ervell’s sim­ple eccen­tric­i­ties blended har­mo­niously with with neu­tral based gar­ments, crafted from wool and tweed. Set to the fran­tic music of Terry Riley, Ervell served a beau­ti­ful col­lec­tion of con­trolled insan­ity – mono­chro­matic num­bers, metic­u­lous tai­lor­ing and a uni­form fit that felt fresh yet organic.
