2011 Fall/Winter
Ohne Titel
For Fall, Ohne Titel's Flora Gill and Alexa Adams were inspired by space suits. "We were intrigued by the way they morph what we think of as normal proportions on the body," Adams explained at a preview. The heart of this collection was undeniably knitwear, rather than anything as literal as an astronaut's synthetics.On a plain gray sweater coat, you could easily make out the rounded shoulder and crenellated circular sleeve that bloomed at the elbow and softened into various textures before narrowing to raised bands at the wrist. Using those techniques, Gill and Adams evolved the knit jumpers and short dresses with graphic blocks of red, black, gray, and royal blue and various tactile textures. They used velvet-trimmed zippers to play with adding and subtracting volume. That mixed-media concept was taken further in heavy but ultra-luxe coats that combined fur, shearling, curly lamb, leather, and thick ribbed knit. The look played to the sharp, ankle-booted urban warrior they've been dressing for a few seasons. But here there was a lighter touch of sophistication in sheer organza blouses, layered under stark but pretty dresses with circular pleats—a NASA-gear echo—fringed with fake hair.
