DEUX HOMMES: Up, Close and Personal
Dear iDEALS, after the great effect designer duo "Deux Hommes" caused with the collection they presented on the 29th of October there was a need on my behalf to try and find more about it. Their fans, devided now in two or three different teams with individual opinions were finally all wondering in their heads how the hell Deux Hommes presented a collection like this one. Let me explain my self here: This collection was not bad. On the contrary it was perfect ! You wanna know why it was perfect? 
Because appart from a very solid concept in the making it was also a different direction from what we all expected from Deuux Hommes. I remember myself when the show was finishED, coming out of the ROOM thinking: Did I actually like this? It took me days of thinking for the answer and finally I have decided: YES I LOVE THIS COLLECTION and now that I see it "Up close and Personal" I love it even more. I repeat once again: Deux Hommes are artists. 
Here is what 
Dimitris Alexakis gave me: “Like the two heroes in Luis Bunuel’s “La Voie Lactee” who set out from
Paris to follow the sacred route to Santiago De Compostella on foot, we departed from last season’s gallic chic to end up to something “brut”, sharp and linear like the Basque landscape (that gave birth to Cristobal). We tried to find the imaginary line that links Spanish masters through the centuries from Zurbaran and Velasquez to Bunuel and Picasso, only to find a sense of restriction, spiritual angst and sadness in a Mediterranean “ Joie de Vivre” disguise. The shapes became midway anatomic by getting closer to the body, pure and architectural even. Thank you for trusting us”. Deux Hommes
