Lorenzo Busato, a Fashion Design student who is passionately fond of Fashion, Photography, Design, Art, Cinema and a tendency to realize all of his ideas with his own hands, shares with us a look at ‘For the love of God,’ a S/S 2010 collection of men's clothing based on Damien Hirst. The collection is created for Lorenzo’s last design course at IUAV in Treviso, Italy, where he’s about to graduate soon.
Lorenzo explains, “’For the love of God’ is the collection born inside of a school project based on the study of an ethnicity as opposed to a theme of breaking. The research began as the analysis of an ancient population, the Ainù, settled in the Japanese archipelago between the XII e the XI millenium BC. Clothes of sculptures & geometrical volumes made by important tissues, highly decorated, regular & symmetrical patterned, which led to a search along the works of the artist Damien Hirst.”
“The essential & symbolical graphics, the concept of death estranged from it's meaning of pain, the dissection of the elements, the obsessive secularity, frequently used themes by Hirst, personally revisited for the project, become modular patterns to be applied on the fabrics, become a mask that lifts off the identity before the fear of death, become monumental shapes for clothes, alike architectural works, strong, impressive, which do not seem to bow to the passing of time,” Lorenzo continues.
We are very fond of these designs and the collection's fusion of fashion, art, history & architecture. We can only imagine how these pieces would rock a fashion editorial. We thank Lorenzo for sharing his project with us and wish him the best! You can follow Lorenzo Busato’s blog & flickr.

Very nice pictures.
The tunnel-like structure is an abandoned construction of an Alcoa factory (aluminum), located in the industrial area in front of Venice.
It's a wonderful place, with dozens of beautiful graffiti.
Too bad this year (or the next, who knows) they're gonna wipe the entire area.
