New York, Feb 10, 2001 / FashionWindows --- The Cybercouture Fall 2001 presentation was a multi-media
affair! With a label named Cybercouture, you should not expect nothing less!
Making her debut at 7th on Sixth this season, Norwegian designer Pia Myrvold brought cyberspace into
the fashion arena. The internet has become part of the mass communication cycle -TV, movies, radio, print
media. And no matter the doomsayers are saying, the internet is here to stay!
So, why not bring it front and center in the fashion world? Pia Myrvold just did that with her show!
It was a true cyberspace event plus humans! Video, music, ballet dancers and models graced the catwalk. It
was different seeing the models (who are also ballet dancers) "tiptoe" on the runway and do their
arabesque. They captivated the audience!
The clothes are original, something I have never seen before! Prints on the fabric were inspired by
daily life - newspaper print in brilliant colors, sheet music, cityscapes, books and architectural prints. I
don't know how Pia Myrvold created those, but I could safely say that a computer plus some graphic software
were used in the process.
Personally, I do not know how to classify the clothes - whether they are streetwear or daywear, even casual
because they are truly different from the usual stuff we see. They are on a league of their own. The collection
was very wearable as a whole, but I would need courage to wear the creatively printed pants and jackets for
men. Hip-hop artists might have a field day with those, while the regular Joes on the street and heartland
Americans might find the clothes too fashion-forward for them.
The women's clothes are easy on the eyes. I could imagine some of them being worn almost anywhere. The collection
leans towards urban wear.
I just have one question - where do the geeks fit in?
