"Nyaradzo uye Zvinotyisa" raive dingindira raChristopher Shannon reKuwa. Mazwi anorema akanaka. Asi Shannon agara ari mumwe wekugadzirisa dhizaini yake nezvakawanda kupfuura zvinosangana neziso. London ine vazhinji vanochenesa zvipfeko zvemumigwagwa zvakapombwa, zvakasvetuka-vamwe vacho vachiramba kubvuma zita racho, vachibatwa nemasemantics pavanenge vachifanira kunge vachipa nguva yekugadzira zvipfeko zviri nani - asi Shannon ndiye mukuru. Uye, ndinofunga, zvakanakisisa. Ndiye mugari wenhaka ari pachena kuna Kim Jones, uye zviratidziro zvake zvinorova nekunetsana kwakafanana pakati pebrash, machismo anoshanda-kirasi uye fashoni yepamusoro.
Kusvikira Kudonha 2016. Nekuti, yeKudonha 2016, Shannon airatidza kuburikidza nekuisa kwete panzira. Ndinovimba chaive chinhu chimwechete, sezvo chutzpah yeShannon's show yaizopotsa yapotsa- uye, zvechokwadi, nhasi. Chiratidziro chake chakaitwa muAlison Jacques Gallery iri pakati peLondon, uye akafemerwa nekubatana nguva pfupi yadarika nemuimbi Linder Sterling pamapfekero ekutamba neNorthern Ballet Company. Kunyangwe iyo stasis yemharidzo yakakupa iwe yakawanda nguva yekuyemura hunyanzvi hwekugadzira hunyanzvi hwaShannon, zvakange zvisina kufanana.
Shannon paakasarudza "kunyaradza uye kutyisa" sezita uye kurudziro yekubuda uku, aifunga nezvesabhabhu yeLiverpool, guta rekuchamhembe reChirungu raakakurira - kunyaradzwa kwemba, asi kutya kwekuvharirwa ipapo. Zvivako zvemapuranga zvakakura zviri pakati pemharidzo zvakauya zvizere nemahwindo akaumbwa nePVC. Vakaita kunge mapfupa ematanda asina chinhu emba yakavharirwa, rudzi rwakavakwa mune-yakanyanya kurambwa mock-Tudor maitiro neBritish kambani yekuvaka Barratt. Idzo dzinomera kune dzimwe nyika dzakasvibira uye dzinofadza kumativi ose ekuchamhembe kweEngland - nyaradzo, uye inotyisa.
Dzimba dzekugara dzinogara vanhuwo zvavo - vari pamudzi wembatya dzaShannon. Kwete chete kwemwaka uno, kunyange zvazvo kubuda uku kwainyanya kunyengetedza mukurumbidza kukwezva kusinganzwisisike kwevakomana vebhokisi-pfupi poplins mune candy-ruvara mitsetse uye cheki; akachekwa-up hooded jaketi uye track-pants akachekwa zvakaparadzana pasi seams; uye menduru dzinengetani dzegoridhe nemhete dzaive ratidziro dzakasvibirira dzemateya eupfumi.
Iyo yakangwara diki yembatya dzaShannon ndeyekuti zviri nyore sei kunzwisisa zvese. "Ndanga ndichifunga nezvevakomana vakabuda nevandichengeta," akadaro, Shannon ari muunganidzwa wechipiri wezuva kutaura nezvemagamba eblue-collar. Iwe haudi iyo yakadzika backstory, kana kuti wakamboshanyira Liverpudlian suburb, kuti uwane yakamonyoroka yehupenyu hwedhorobha (uye, zvechokwadi, pent-up-up-up-up-up-up-up-up kushushikana pabonde kwevechiri kuyaruka) kubva pahembe dzake. Vakakwenya papreppy pastel palette, inoyeuchidza nezvemacheni emitambo yakawanda Esprit naBenetton mune yakasungwa, zippered wind cheaters uye sweatshirts uye varsity maumbirwo.
Aya ndiwo zvakare tropes Shannon yaakapa nguva nenguva, yakasanganiswa uye kufungidzira mwaka wega wega, dandemutande-rakarukwa rezvipfeko mukuita senge kudzokororwa kunoramba kuripo kuburikidza nemafungiro ake anogara akaorera. Zvaifadza kutora nguva kubva munhangemutange yemakonzo uye kuyemura basa rake remaoko nguva dzose kuna Fall-uye zvakaita sekunge Shannon azvisundidzira kunze kwenzvimbo yake yekunyaradza mukuita izvi. Asi mumwe anotarisira kuti Shannon's dynamic verve inodzokera kuLondon runways for Spring: Guta pasina mubvunzo rinobatsirikana kubva kusimba rake, uye iye asingarambiki anoyera seimwe yeakanyanya kunaka kwazvo.
