Maxxi Jae-Hyung Lee‘s ‘Masquerade Collection’ is a kaleidoscope of colors, fabrics, and textures. This bright, in-your-face series has been completed with exaggerated silhouettes and awkward static poses. Are they sumo wrestlers? Animals? Or are they just models sporting the latest menswear trends? We are not sure, but we certainly like it.
Think about it. How many times do we avoid dressing as we would like, just to hide our taste, thoughts and identity? Maxxi Jae-Hyung Lee explores this common behavior with the filter of fashion, in “The masquerade collection”.
The young fashion designer brings into our lives a new garment each day, that reflects our mood and our most hidden thoughts. It imprints itself on the body with a performance of shapes, textures and colors, allowing us to be more transparent and active, and less afraid of our liquid identity.
Because we all know it. If society has been transformed from a mass society to one composed of a multitude of individuals, each of us feels disoriented. Not so much in striving to belong, as much as in accepting our fragmented identity. Only able to find meaning in our open relationship with others.
The designer translates this concept on an aesthetic level by working on 3 elements – texture, fabrics and exaggerated silhouettes – tied together by the common thread of contrast: between textiles and traditional forms of male clothing, in samples of self-produced prints and by blending soft and stiff materials that express different identities.
Maxxi J. Lee thus performs a significant act. A wearable manifesto that speaks of liberation from religious, sexual, ethnic and ideological prejudices. But most of all, that affirms the idea of a human being living in a multicultural society.
