Avant-garde designer Patrick Mohr lived up to his fashion-shocking reputation this week sending his topless models down the catwalk at Berlin’s Fashion Week bearing their hair on their chins and not on their heads. With their eyebrows painted over and looking more alien than beautiful, his most recent collection was surprisingly wearable despite his unusual decision on the hair and make-up front.
His S/S ’11 unisex collection was androgynous and conceptually interesting with a generally low-key palette of white and black with shocks of tomato-red in keeping with Mohr’s outspoken nature. After graduating from Munich’s ESMOD in 2007, Mohr went on to work for Danish-born menswear designer Henrik Vibskov in Copenhagen where he developed his own eccentric and provocative style. After founding his own label in 2008, Mohr’s aesthetic relies on the gender mainstream of today and the idea of a utopian future and emancipated society.
