In a smouldering mix of poetry and surrealism, Trimápee go ever inward for their Spring Summer collection 08-09 as they reveal; “God’s Mistakes”.

“God’s Mistakes” delves into the deep and complex nature of beauty and the perception of beauty, whilst exploring the themes of metamorphism, perfection and imperfection. It is here that Trimápee toys with the idea of playing “God” by morphing the beautiful to the ugly and the ugly to the beautiful.

Trimápee adopts this Frankenstein approach to design this Spring Summer, as the garments are dissected, cut and paste and re-assembled in an unconventional manner. Masculine transforms to feminine and back again by the displacement of fabrics, structure and traditional silhouettes. It is here that Trimápee draws it’s inspiration from the concept of “the dead” and dead things. From waste to found objects to unused accessories and trimmings, Trimápee digs deeper to find the real beauty within each and breathe life back into them through fresh eyes.

The “God’s Mistakes” collection features beautiful soft fabrics which hang freely and drape from the body, whilst light-weight cottons, wools and silks maintain structured shapes and tailored forms. Deception is played upon, as fabrics convey many illusions of morphing and transformation.

The colour palette is set by the surroundings of these “deceased” beauties. With its morgue-like tones of silver grey, icy blue, sterile metallic and stark white, black is still the new black as Trimápee shares a vision of the colour without borders.

Trimápee’s Spring/Summer Collection 08-09, “God’s Mistakes”, is a fashionable meditation on death and destruction that is as disturbing as it is mesmerising. This is a compassionate portrayal of these “deceased creatures” groping for an identity that makes Trimápee’s God’s Mistakes a vision of artistic expression.
