The seeds of scuba suited fashion were planted in my head since a Balenciaga collection in 2003 if I recall correctly. Budapest-based desigener Kata Szegedi's work just reminded me of one of my many delayed DIY project which was to customise a neoprene wetsuit. In truth, at the Angels sale I had hope to find some sort of discarded space/surf costume that would mean I wouldn't have to go into some surf shop and sheepishly ask for a wetsuit that DIDN'T have some sort of a logo on it...
Oh well...that never happened.... all I can say is that I'm entirely sold on Kata's odd combination of bright leopard print and holographic panelling on leggings, jacket and wetsuit... perhaps some sort of creative collaboration with Quiksilver could happen here...(err...joke...)
Paired with Peter Horstein's holographic slashed shoes and gloves as well as his crystal and perspex jewllery... I'd be the scariest surfer/scuba diver yet to emerge...
