The ELEGANCE, the DRAMA, the SERVE. VioletChachki luisdejavier
to model your first collection out of school is not an easy feat. But for Luis De Javier, a young Spanish designer and recent graduate living in London, the stars managed to align through a stroke of luck, sheer talent, and a budding friendship with theChachki, who is known for her affinity towards vintage glamour, fetish fashion, and dominatrix imagery , was the perfect fit to wear De Javier's sexually-charged clothes and deconstructed looks.
What I portray with every garment is the true decadent and obscure feeling behind the glamorous and extravagant lifestyle that all queer kids desire to live. It is somehow my declaration of admiration towards it and my bold critique on its façade. I try to stay true to what queer kids did back in the days in order to impress everyone at the club.
What Violet is wearing was based on garment construction, in order to create distorted silhouettes emphasizing the waist and showing skin to portray the Über-Puffed Sexuality of the looks. I wanted to create two jackets with really bold shoulders that had a corset incorporated in them. [There are] two complete looks in sustainable leather that I handprinted with one of my collages and produced them in Spain just a week before the shoot.
