With SS/13 "Discipline" Obscur show us that they are not only that gothic ninja brand we saw in the first collection, but is a brand slowly maturing into a more refined yet still experimental and edgy force to be reckoned with in the future. Gone are the overwhelming ninja drape pieces from earlier as this collection showcase a more mature side to their talent with well cut coats and jackets, slim-fitting leather pieces, state of the art fabric choices and edgy and fresh thinking accessories while still holding on to that darker and more gothic feeling which is Obscur.
As they present it themselves:
"Manipulated
forms of altered human bodies foreshadows the lines of discipline. Skilled
medical devices used to correct those deformations act as a balance between
sterile material and the natural progression of time
Wrapped
bandages in organic shapes co-exist with metallic elements in order to dress
the body while keepring it within an articulated form.
Over-treated
materials embody the wear of garments over time while sleek textiles restrain
body whilst representing the pillar of modern day society"
