Georgina Santiago: Minutiae

Wednesday, September 12, 2012 · 4 Comments

I do believe that (good) fashion is art, but to be honest it’s rare that I find myself inspired by fashion in the same way that I am by art. And while high fashion has its own seductive language, it is conceived in such a narrow, limited context. Even edgy, artistic fashion must still embue sex appeal, luxury and a brand. It’s the “out there” conceptual fashion, forging altogether new aesthetics, like Georgina Santiago’s Minutiae, that inspires me for real. This is the epitome of “fashion as art” in my book.

As for the work itself, Georgina’s collection is inspired by the familiar and the alien in her own body, specifically the skin on her hand. She plays with dusty blue and pale flesh tones, wrinkles, folds, shiny and dull textiles. It’s beautiful, weird and, yes, a bit unsettling.
