Dear Filep and iDEALS,
one year ago the fashion label Garland Coo was found in the deep south of Germany by designer
Jasmin Isabel Eckerle and artist Marcel Singer. Through their artistic view both rise the tension
between the polarities of fashion - art - and so called "Heimat".
Garland Coo describes the elementary confrontation and dichotomy between civilisation, nature
and mind, the collection can be described as an analogy of the cultural and natural heritage of the
designers. Their roots are deeply anchored in south German culture, in the Black Forest, in their
native landscape as a deep source of inspiration.
The connotation "Heimat" expresses the funds of our stylistic devices .
Heimat. The Black Forest as
essence, as origin and source.
Out there where elements arise, where forces of nature concentrate, where primordial mights prevail,
out there is the source, the inspiration of Garland Coo.
The savage, the ancient, the impressible the heights of the Black Forest.
As the sources and creeks arise, floating and strengthened, the shapes and fabrics are floating, slim
tight and harsh cuts, pure and clear, dark and gleaming like a cold winters night over the treetops,
beyond the heights of the Black Forest.
Soft and smooth, earthy like the forest floor appears beneath the feet, smooth as velvet and cotton
the collection of Garland Coo combines elements of a natural landscape and a more philosophical
frame of mind.
Far beyond all typical cuckoo clocks and "Schwarzwaldmädel-" mentality, far beyond the global
known 60‘s trash culture, the Black Forest is the source of inspiration, the savage, the original.
The truth and an eternal passion are hidden there - Garland Coo is part of this passion.
The collection bordering on couture embellished with sharp tailoring, slim cut silhouettes and
refined detailing using the finest materials. It is the contrast between tradition and avant-garde,
between Black Forest pompoms and floating hand dyed silks, between bondage schemes and
clear defined folds, hand-prints and hand-finished fabrics.
