RUNWAY: Siki Im FW16

The first shirt said it all: "Vampyros Lesbos". Siki Im's dark and sex-tinged FW16 collection was centered on the story of Lesbos, off the coast of Greece, and vampires, which could easily be a metaphor for sex and bodily fluid exchange. It was then unsurprising that the collection was strongly rooted in black and blood-red hues. Fake blood dripped off the models mouths, ears, and eyes, like that of the vampires on True Blood when they cried. The collection, combined with visuals of the models and the narrative, it helped convey a subversive and blood thirsty collection that was anchored by the graphic tees seen throughout the collection.
