ANNTIAN has just launched the 2010 autumn/winter collection entitled “Walk in the Light,” which, in the designers’ words:“tells about walks that you have in the dark, at night; it’s about illuminated windows that give moments of insight while passing them, about a light cone of a pocket lamp, about beaming Spotlights wandering around, detecting, blinding, searching, finding, focusing.
Hidden Beauty, ordinary banal structures we come across everyday get spotted and highlighted, such as road/sidewalk surfaces you walk on, wood grain of a chair, PVC flooring, etc.
The collection, as a Journey, a Walk of Senses, connects to daily surroundings, to Spaces and places we’re living at, to objects and structures.
It’s the attempt to search and find the very ‘special’ that is inherent in so many things of our daily life, to search and find the outstanding—to give in the Magic.”
Anne Hilken and Christian Kurt (ANN plus TIAN) have been designing in Berlin since 2006, combining the techniques of hand painting and paper printing into eco-friendly menswear.
