I first met Dima Neu during Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week in Moscow back in March where he was about to showcase his collection CHILDREN/UNIVERSE. He was wearing one of the chain-mail pieces showcased below in the campaign images photographed by Vera Biriukova featuring models Alex Vasil’chenko and Tanya Shmat.
For a an emerging Russian designer showing on schedule, Dima’s almost urban aesthetic is progressive and rare, and the show itself was more of performance art piece (which if you’ve been reading KARLISMYUNKLE for some time, you’ll know that I appreciate).
