*all photos courtesy of Eugene Flores (http://www.highendphotorgraphy.ca/)a man and a woman walked out the runway in rough torn jeans and bear feet. the woman was in a ripped shirt revealing her elaborate tattoos while the man wore nothing but a small grey scarf around his neck. they bent down and picked up a wooden box that was hidden in the centre of the runway. like robots they walked silently to the end of the runway, sat down and opened the box. in it were books, a slingshot, pencils and a chalkboard. they started ripping out pages of the books and threw the crumpled pieces in the air…
ok…wait a moment! they’re not the models. spectators looked back and there was a model who came strutting out with a graphic tee by Pacific Thorn. unlike Alpha Ursus, the t-shirts for females were fitted to show off curves on the body. there were a few side-fringed mini shirt dresses which desperately called for shorts or tights…
the man sitting at the front of the runway started to aimlessly shoot elastic bands in the air with his huge sling shot. the woman coarsely made out the letters of “PACIFITHORN” on the mini chalkboard. wait…the show wasn’t about them…on the men’s side were casual graphic tees in black, greys and dull greens. all the models had on the signature pinhole ripped jeans creating random constellation-like patterns…
now it’s the man turn to carve the brand’s name on the board while the woman marked up a torn notebook with her pencil. more crumpled paper and elastic bands flew around in the air as the audience members gasped in disbelief and winced for their safety’s sake.
BAM! a model came out in a pleated skirt made from the glorious American flag, but what? on top, she was wearing nothing but a life jacket created from the same flag - God save America from the economic crisis? “maybe she should’ve worn one of those nude leotards to cover up her breasts” someone whispered. the mascot model didn’t care, she lifted her fingers and made a cute peace sign to the confused photographers – peace to America?
the woman and the man packed up their items and slammed the box shut. they silently carried the box down the runway as their bear feet brushed the ground.
the inspiration for Pacific Thorn's show was Atlantis.
ps. i was just as confused.
