DZHUS - A/W 2015

Irina Dzhus, name behind the brand DZHUS, released collection for A/W 2015 under the name TOTALITARIUM. Inspiration was drawn from totalitarianism, political system of the early 20th century.
"Terrific palaces and awe-inspiring monuments of the époque are haunted with the solemn spirit of industrialisation. The Utopian ideology glorifies an image of the working class heroine, so stern and so pure."
Every outfit expresses two possibilities: total unification and strong individuality, creating time paradox of postmodern fashion.
