THE RE\VIEW: AN ITEM CATALOG OF EXCLUSIVE RUNWAY REVIEWS, CRITIQUES & CULTURAL EVENTS, PAYING RESPECT TO THE WORLDS OF FASHION, ENTERTAINMENT & ART.  In a modern political wasteland, thou shall protect thee energy. BY EDITOR The co-founder's Benjamin Alexander Huseby and Serhat Isik, of the Berlin based label, GmBH, showcased their first politically motivated collection titled – "My Beauty Offends You" – in the midst of a fittingly cold-rainy night. Though, To say the collective took us by a storm, wouldn’t do them their earned justice. The location? It was held in the Parisian L’Aérosol; a street focused art center, in what used to be an industrial railway area. And just like the night of chills found among the grundy cold-energy spot, what radiated off the catwalk was an emphasized intention put upon the concept of 'self-protection'. From the first piece that caught my attention, a chain-mail tank top to the extra long motocross gloves (both as trends, I've seen emerging from within the fall 2018 shows), one could most definitely feel the concept of protecting your energy.  Courtesy of Indigital.tv “Last season was quite optimistic and utopian, looking at our fathers. With this one, we felt it was getting more aggressive and dark. The time we’re living in kind of feels a bit like modern Dark Ages, so we’re thinking really about, ‘OK, how do we protect ourselves? How do we create our army?’” Huseby said. Courtesy of Indigital.tv Monochromatic vibes, broad shoulders and non-complex uniform proportions, all weighed in on the thought of surviving a politically rivaled wasteland. But just like with every modern-apocalyptic depiction, the GmBH militia was full of its own rouge-warrior selections. Take the thick heeled boots, PVC shined bottoms with reclaimed leather and bullet proof padded dirt-bike inspired jumpsuit-zips.
Among the brewing storm, the collection was ready for a political downpour. But it was all in the head-to-toe stitching and tailoring. Really, so fitting for a modern rebellion.
