Erdem Resort 2012
My first thought after viewing Erdem's 2012 Resort Collection: Can I have all of it? The collection is simultaneously refined and sensual, restrained and playful. Standout pieces include the half-houndstooth tweed, half-waterproof trench (perfect for keeping dry during those late-evening summer rain showers) and the navy-and-red evening gown (complete with a flourish of flowered lace cutouts that…

Arguably the strongest collection since Margiela’s departure in 2009, Maison Martin Margiela’s latest offering has created quite the frenzy amongst fashion-followers. Although not totally abandoning the overtly avant-garde aesthetics which have always been intrinsic to the house, there was an uncharacteristically pragmatic feel to the collection, with each…

To make up for that we decided to post our interview with them from FAULT Issue…
Artefact of Dirt
FAULT: You describe your sound as Electronica / Experimental / Gothic How do you keep your sound unique?
The ways in which we perceive, appraise and internalize an atmosphere as well as the transition of one atmospheric scenery to another are the foundations of my reflexions. Since our senses enable us to perceive and feel the complexities of existence, I try to provoke listeners’…

FAULT: What is the history of SGC NY?
In the spectrum of time SGC is in its infancy so we have more of a future coming then a history to tell. I was doing graphic design on a couple tv shows. This leant to dealing with fabrics, cuts and fashion. I am self taught so without that experience not sure if I would have taken this path in my life. I really couldn't be happier with…
