The house MÜHLBAUER - austrian Hat-Manufacturer - presents its amazing new Collection for Spring/Summer 2013.
The new face of the Campaign is non less then performance artist Jakob Lena Knebl
The new autumn/winter collection takes place in two
worlds that could hardly be more different. It’s all
about light and shade, centre stage and backstage,
party and everyday.
This duality was consciously
chosen by the Mühlbauer design team (Klaus
Mühlbauer, Nora Berger and Barbara Gölles).
The picture for this season’s collection was created
by the Austrian artist Jakob Lena Knebl. His work
includes performance, fashion and installation. For
Mühlbauer, Knebl created a “Living Painting”.
This
means she used her own body, and, inspired by
Kasimir Malewitch and Alexej Jawlensky, placed it
centre stage. The resulting work “kasimir” can be
understood as the very first Mühlbauer nude.
AW 2013 01 Jakob Lena Knebl
The series julija glitters. Plaited hair bands, airline
stewardess inspired hats or a pillbox with propeller,
all shine metallically in the softest Napa leather.
Sometimes in combination with fur, sometimes as a
solo performance. Even the hand-knitted beanies
enjoyed a full party revamp. They have been
upgraded with fur or, alternatively, dyed lemon
yellow.
The fur hats in the collection series rex
couldn’t avoid the designer’s colour frenzy either.
Now they too are yellow or turquoise.
