RITUAL PROJECTS

Y/PROJECT in Vogue

"Martens spoke at about a million miles an hour as he observed: “What I’m proud about is that at a time where everything has started looking the same, and people consume visuals on Instagram so designers create easy commercial shapes for them to digest, we go against that. And specifically because of the pandemic, we decided to go extra against it.” Standing in that balloon pit 12 months ago, Martens’s designs looked, as per that Y/Project visual dialect, attractively strange in their chaotic-ness. Now that disorder and unpredictability is so much more familiar to all of us, they appeared less strange but still extremely attractive: well worth pausing to scroll and pinching your screen to zoom in on and wonder at."

GmbH IN Vogue

"Isik’s analogue satisfaction came, he said, in cutting and shaping couture-referencing shapes that saw their criss-cross, shoulder-wrapping tailoring silhouette updated and then redeployed as an off-the-shoulder neckline. This was applied with magisterial subversiveness on a black dress/coat in jersey, quilted satin, and a queenly faux-fur in tabby cat tones. Maybe it was that theme, but the silhouette and facade of piratic pointed boots under fitted pants and stretched patterned tops or checked shirting variously recalled Westworld and Black Mirror’s “USS Callister.” Pleather boy looks were sometimes Matrix moody, while a treated-canvas python-print full look (down to the matching boots that were part of the brand’s debut all-vegan footwear range) seemed its own fresh reference."
