Gary Graham – Finding Beauty In The Dark

The Gary Graham spring 2012 collection is a fairy tale of a young woman, as told by Mr. Graham, “she lives in an interior space, literally and figuratively, and she steps outside. It’s a story with a happy ending.” His design aesthetic is fueled by his “interest in where the garment has been moving through history and time.” A bleached floral print was inspired by a dress from a friend’s grandmother. The herringbone suiting group was grown from a found swatch of fabric. Wallpaper that has survived flood waters is the genesis of a print that spotlights the beauty of graduated color shifts.

“Be mine sister salvation, juke joint jezebel’s comin for my cremation.” When industrial music powerhouse KMFDM wrote those lyrics almost two decades ago, they were referencing a particularly American female iconic woman, the backwoods siren. Poorer than poor and with mismatched homespun clothes, she nonetheless casts a bewitching spell on men and the American consciousness. Gary Graham’s Fall 2011 collection was made with this rockabilly razor in mind and this is a fairly typical muse for his work. Continue reading “Gary Graham – Fall 2011”
