| Wie fühlt sich die Spinne auf dem Herrenklo? |
Our society has surrendered many liberties in favor of supposed security. The goal of the menswear collection “Wie fühlt sich die Spinne auf dem Herrenklo?” (“The Spider in the Mensroom”) is to trigger questions, associations and emotions – whether during observing, reading or wearing the pieces. The garments made of tweed, leather and cotton gauze are rough and robust. Chiffon and silk present flowing contradictions. Lines and symmetrical ele¬ments, the play with convex and concave shapes creates contrasts that coalesce. No distinction between front or back. Shades of grey replace thinking in black and white. Purposeful color accents become apparent only below the primary layers. Masks let the wearers appear like marionettes. Will we be free, if we take off the masks? “Freedom requires courage, so let us be courageous. Open your eyes! Open your ears! Open your mouth!” |

| Jury Statement | The poetic menswear collection “Wie fühlt sich die Spinne auf dem Herrenklo?” (“The Spider in the Mensroom”) tells a story about social ties, control and manipulation, promises security and escape into inner worlds. Lilly Bosse dares to interpret the theme “Freedom” in a very personal way. She also provokes our imagination with her intuitive and associative project, challenges limits and asks questions that used to be realm of stage writers. Lilly Bosse is able to trigger emotions and root them in our memory. Almost incidentally she created a confident and modern male image, unburdened by gender stereotypes, using skillful techniques and a characteristic color selection. A major achievement! – Jury Member Margareta van den Bosch, Creative Adviser, Hennes & Mauritz, Stockholm |
