BEAUTY: Clothing--Robert Wun
Wow.
This.
This is art.
Designer Robert Wun showed his Fall Winter '25-'26 collection last week. I always say couture at this level is wearable art but in this case it literally is. Male and female models wore sculpted arms as additional accessories. The bloody hand prints, the paint spatters, the mold blooms, and the scorch marks, all rendered in sequins and beads are stunning. The sculpted nature of some of the silhouettes showed that they change depending on which angle one sees it. The show unfolded like a surreal hallucination, riddled with dream logic. He called the show "Becoming" and described the collection as a journey into "the depths of human desire and imagination." Indeed, he closed the show with a wedding gown, a traditional move harking back to the golden age of couture when Christian Dior started the practice...but this was no traditional gown. The veil was held up by a disturbing little ghost perched atop the head. When the bride removed her hands from her waist, she revealed their imprint into the peplum of her top. A symbol. A message. An omen.
