Artists statement:
==================================
The idea with the TV collection is that it is a base for the future of Patrik Söderstam. Later, more TV programs will come.
Patrik Söderstam TV is not your normal “glam” fashion collection. The swoosh trouser, the snap shirt, and others will return, maybe with changes in color, print and the details. Think the sports market, the jeans market… does this sound boring? We promise you it will not be boring!!
The garments are there to create a relationship with the people who want to wear them. They will not disappear after one season.
The collection is a unisex line and offers the same outer-shape for both men and women without loosing sex appeal. It is about equality between the sexes and the opposites that attract at the same time. Underneath the tight trouser you will find both the stiff male shape and the female roundness; under the baggy top you will find the soft female volume and the male form.
If the sex issue is tiring, well, what better way to hide from it than in baggy shapes!
My home is in my brain.
Patrik Söderstam
PS: Blue and red--opposites attract. Ying and Yang.
Socialism wouldn’t be exciting without the blue conservatists.
Go red!!!
