these being taken from lookbooks/presentations the first priority was likely to be setting out as clearly as possible the designer's direction - in this case murkudis being generally a minimalist seems to tend towards the austere, and the panelled fabrics, slight sheen and blank translucency convey that.
of course i wouldn't mind anyone going out like that ;) but sadly straight sanity prevails over pure aesthetic ideals.
and, i meant that as in naturally when you bought the piece it would be worn in a related but not entirely literal context to the piece as it was in the presentation
HALTBAR MURKUDIS, THE FORMER NAME OF THE LABEL, WAS ORIGINALLY THE RESULT OF DESIGNERS KATHLEEN WAIBEL AND KOSTAS MURKUDIS MEETING A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO. SINCE THEN THEIR COLLECTIONS ARE ALL INSPIRED BY GERMAN WORKING CLOTHES. THEY ARE FABRICATED IN COLLABORATION WITH PRODUCERS OF TRADITIONAL CLOTHING SUCH AS THOSE OF CARPENTERS. THE IDEA OF HALTBAR IS TO DEVELOP GARMENTS FROM TRADITIONAL PRODUCTS WHICH DO NOT COMPLY WITH FASHION FLOW BUT ANYHOW WORK IN FASHION CONTEXT. THE BASIC THOUGHT OF THE COLLECTION IS ONE FROM WAYFARING CARPENTERS WHO CARRY THERE \\\\\\\'HOME\\\\\\\' WITH THEMSELVES. THIS HAS FOUND ITS SYMBOL IN A TINY EMBROIDERED MIGRATORY BIRD ON THE GARMENTS.
