“EXTREME REGIME” x PRIESTESS NYC x HOTOVELI
Trans-media eye-popping eye-candy: a fashion exhibit that explores paradox, pop-culture, eroticism and artisanship. Showing through October 02.
Exhibiting a razzle-dazzle array of kaleidoscopic colors against invincibly dark tones, titillating textures and adorned by freaky mannequins, readymades and real models, PRIESTESS NYC + Hotoveli New York bring a fanciful sci-fi range that is forceful and precise. Entitled “Extreme Regime” and shown at Hotoveli's West 4th Street location, the collection imparts phantasmagorical flavors with a raucous aesthetic. The range – 28 pieces in all and expressed via an installation – represents mind-blowing style, substance and artisanal intoxication. Dresses were fabricated out of silk jerseys, lambskins and linens and embodied structures and silhouettes with notable gusto Employing silk-jerseys, florescent leather appliqués and durable linens, PRIESTESS NYC cut unisex shapes that nicely enveloped the body, with collars on dress-shirts that extended skyward, diaphanous dropcrotch trousers done out of laser-cut fishnets, and tunics with neon geometric leather paneling. There were even fanny-packs crafted from day-glow calfskin with oversized zippers and hidden compartments. The overall mood hinted at the volatility attendant with economic and political globalization, and there was a discernable tongue-and-cheek reference to garb worn by dictators (for instance, Gaddafi’s outlandish Bedouin ensembles and the haunting attire of Darth Vader). The presentation is chockablock with off-the-wall motifs: surrealistic cartoon forms with gaping mouths, fetish masks, laser beams and a heavy dose of multi-media projections of stars exploding, karate fights and soft porn. Taken together, the show is an eye-popping fashion fantasy with a decidedly commercial bent: you can buy/order the pieces directly from Hotoveli’s sales floor and instantly satisfy all your fashion fixes!
