Punk Couture

The work "PunkCouture" by Xenia Wedig, created during the "Copy Couture" course with Philipp Rupp, explores the fusion of punk fashion and tailoring in a sophisticated high fashion context. Drawing inspiration from Junya Watanabe's Spring 23 collection, the work demonstrates a creative interplay between rebellious aesthetics and exquisite craftsmanship. Xenia Wedig weaves the characteristic elements of punk subculture, such as studs, leather, and edgy cuts, with the elegance and refinement of the couture world. The result is a captivating collection that blurs the boundaries between subversive self-expression and luxurious haute couture, establishing a fascinating connection between punk attitude and high fashion artistry.

With "PunkCouture," Xenia Wedig creates a remarkable dialogue between the history of the punk movement and contemporary design. The collection celebrates the DIY mentality of punk culture while showcasing the technical skill and creative vision essential for realizing a sophisticated high fashion line. By skillfully combining unconventional materials and traditional couture techniques, the collection becomes daring and provocative, prompting viewers to contemplate the conventions of fashion and beauty.
