Taiwanese designer Johan Ku creates extravagant sweaters and dresses in which only the most desperate fashionistas dare to go out. But this fact does not seem to bother the author at all, because, according to him, he does not create clothes, but sculptures.
“The 'Emotional Sculptures' collection was inspired by the concept of 'soft sculpture',” says Johan Ku. After a series of experiments, the author decided that the best material for his work was unpainted woolen threads. As you can see, each of his sculptures combines threads of different thicknesses, some of which are very thick. To cope with them, Johan resorts to the help of huge knitting needles, and sometimes weaves intricate patterns with only his fingers.
“Instead of creating thousands of the same things, I prefer to work on something unique,” says Johan Ku. In 2004, the Emotional Sculpture collection won third place in the Taiwan Fashion Design Award, and in 2009 it won the Avant-Garde Award at the Gen Art's Styles International Design Competition in the United States.
Johan Ku was born in Taipei, Taiwan in 1979. At the age of 17, he began his career as a graphic designer. After completing his Master's degree from Fu-Jen University (Creative Fashion and Textile Design), Johan founded his own studio in 2005. Although the author works on various projects, including bespoke ones, the collection of light sculptural dresses remains something of his business card.
