Label Under Construction
Flawlessly Knit Fabrics
Label Under Construction is the label of designer Luca Laurini from Perugia, Italy that was founded in 2003 after seperating paths with Carpe Diem and Maurizio Altieri. His work requires the utmost understanding and knowledge of his medium. Though one need not possess such knowledge to admire his handiwork, a deeper understanding of the concepts behind the articles, provides for a deeper appreciation. There is an inherent and asymmetric harmony established in the dichotomy of opposition found in his body of work. He creates flawlessly knit fabrics with constituted deterioration, that when found in its natural state, would unravel in senescence. Yet he manages to suspend that very breakdown and preserves it in time. The patterns he designs in 2 dimensions are architectural. The formulaic logic of fabricating knits fuels his passion for creating and seeking to discover new equations. From its inception, his approach to design is a science. And the creative, disjointing, and dismantling in all three dimensions, drive him in his efforts to breathe life into his pieces. Thus rendering his approach to design, an art.
Hannes Roether
Knitwear made in Germany
He’s a man of few words. And he doesn’t want a picture of him to be shown either. The design of his creations alone must be convincing. Hannes Roether is very strict about that. It has to stand out, be different. It must assert itself without advertising and without chichi. All this might be the result of his socialization? His father advised him to do the same and become a forest ranger. That would have been the easy, straightway. But he became a knitting engineer. That’s good because nobody can fool him at the knitting machine today. In fashion, he says, you have to know the limits of what is technically possible in order to consciously go beyond them.
