In an effort to prove to the world their sophistication and belonging to the highest caste, some famous personalities cross all boundaries. The most interesting thing is that there is no crime in their actions, and their moral foundations are not just shaken, they practically fall to the bottom. And the manufacture of clothes and shoes from human skin can be considered one of these examples.
Is the skin really human?
Of course, within the framework of fashion we are not talking about real human skin, but about its imitation. But in the past there were also cases of using human skin, just mentioning Ilse Koch.
Interesting! Madame Lampshade was the name of one of the most terrible sadists in the history of mankind. The wife of SS officer Karl-Otto Koch became a guard at the Sachsenhausen concentration camp in Buchenwald during World War II. In addition to the fact that Ilsa enjoyed killing and watching people kill, she “had a soft spot” for prisoners’ tattoos. Specially trained people tore off the skin of the unfortunate people and tanned it.Ilsa then used this “material” to make lampshades.
Today There is a company in Britain that actually makes things from real human skin.. Communication with representatives of this English “brand” is purely via the Internet. The material used here for their crafts is exclusively “voluntary”, that is, donors sign a special agreement before death. And if you consider that the demand for such products has not subsided for eight years now, one can only guess where the material is obtained when it is needed.
However, with the development of transplantology and the surge in military operations in Syria, Libya and other “third-level” countries, there should be no shortage of cheap material (author’s note - this was bitter sarcasm).
Reference. The cost of a bracelet made of real human skin is about 500 euros. Wallet or belt - from 9 thousand euros, shoes - from 18.
The first pants made from human skin
In Iceland, in the Museum of Magic and Witchcraft, there are real pants “removed” from a person in the Middle Ages. They are a fully crafted product “from the waist to the toes.” The exhibit even “preserved” its nails and genital organs. These pants belonged to some sorcerer and brought good luck in money matters.
Human skin in the world of fashion
In the fashion industry, imitation human skin has been used relatively recently. This is all due, of course, to the desire to stand out and draw attention to your brand. In this case, completely eliminating the boundaries between cynicism and decency. And wearing such clothes is also not for the faint of heart.
Clothes and shoes that will shock you
Modern technologies make it possible to imitate absolutely any print and workmanship.French couturier Olivier Goulet was the first to invite the world to wear similar clothes. The fabric fabric is called skinbag, jackets, skirts, T-shirts, overalls, and various accessories are made from it. Olivier's collection even featured a wedding dress. The most interesting thing is that we tried not to make the imitation print perfect — scars, pimples, rosacea and other problem skin are “in fashion.”
Interesting! The material imitates not only the pattern of human skin, but also its texture, density, and organic finish.
Things are made using a special seamless technology. At the client's request, any “tattoo” can be applied to the fabric. The realism of the material allows the imagination to run wild. On the one hand, it’s disgusting and repulsive, but on the other, a dose of adrenaline is guaranteed. In a word, This is the same high fashion that they say cannot be understood.
Some people “followed in the footsteps” of the creative designer. For example, Nicola Constantino presented his a collection of “pimply” clothes made from fabric that imitates human skin. The “highlight” of it can be called the incredible number of ulcers “scattered” across the fabric. There are not only dresses, corsets, coats and shoes, but also accessories.
And Jessica Harrison “invented” upholstering furniture in a similar way. In this case, not only the skin is used, but also the organs...
Kao Hu “connected” skin with organs in his collection of clothes and shoes, and Andrea Heisler proposed a tent made of entrails.
Where is THIS sold?
It is unlikely that you can find such products on an ordinary counter. These fashionable delights belong exclusively to high fashion, and ordinary passers-by will not be able to accept this on the streets of the city. We can safely call clothes and shoes made from fabric that imitates human skin a trend of the future.Of course, if the “freak” business continues to flourish.
Although the designers themselves believe that the introduction of such a trend will allow us to combine digital technologies and organics, and in the future this “tandem” will be able to influence the development of human conscience and will contribute to survival in this world. Well, let's see.
