Duran Lantink may well be fashion’s ultimate upcycler.
Lantink started dismantling old-season designer inventory and giving it a new lease on life long before the fashion world had a proper understanding of deadstock materials and the effort it takes to upcycle them.
He has a new collaboration with fine jewelry marketplace Auverture that saw him repurpose pre-loved Cartier and Tiffany pieces into a new, hybrid design and debuted his first fully fledged collection and digital runway show today. “I was always taught that sex sells, but it just sounded really weird. I never used to think about showing body parts with my clothes. So this was about exploring what ‘sex sells’ really means and why is it that sex sells?” said Lantink, adding that he wanted to push boundaries, but also leave some room for comic relief.
A teaser of the show also showcases a flying drone with the voice of broadcaster and environmentalist David Attenborough inviting people to tune in.
