Amidst plastic pieces, polyester fibers, and algorithms stuffed to the brim with micro-trends...
there’s a growing hunger for something alive.
Something timeless.
Something made to last a lifetime.
In the world of avant-garde fashion, silhouettes scream, fabrics fray, and textures melt together, all rooted in experimentation of both technique and design language.
It’s about presence and pushing boundaries.
The Lost Adornments Ethos
Lost Adornments was never meant to be fleeting.
Bones and natural ephemera have a long and deep past, used across countless civilizations and cultures.
These works unearth the forgotten.
They’re meant to haunt, to protect, to provoke.
It’s about material allegiance.
Which is why they pair so damn well with what’s walking the darker, weirder edges of the fashion world right now.
Designer Alignments
Rick Owens: The Patron Saint of Monochrome
Accentuated shoulders. Bold collars. Leather trousers that look like they’ve survived a famine, a funeral, and four decades in futuristic exile.
At the intersection of fine art and craftsmanship, Rick Owens creates clothing that when worn feels protective, like armor.
What to wear with it:
A pair of snake vertebrae hoops, an antler pendant, something raw enough to keep up with the discipline of Rick’s lines, but personal enough to interrupt and contrast.
(As demonstrated in the article image above, paired with Rick Owens Fall Ready-To-Wear Collection)
Carol Christian Poell: The Cult of Craft and Decay
Often controversial, and historically unkind to the wearer; clothing that is intentionally uncomfortable.
CCP creates garments that feel as though they were pulled from another realm. Deconstructed, unsettling, and intentionally raw.
From jackets with fused seams to soles that look as though they trudged through an alien egg fresh hatched, Poell toes the line between function and art. His work isn’t just worn, it’s experienced.
Adorn it with:
A snake-shed pendant blanketed in resin, or snake vertebrae hoops sealed in oil-dark gloss (Tar Pit Hoops).
Jewelry that contrasts rather than conforms.
Material Alchemy: The High-Art Undercurrent
Here’s what’s happening in the high-art underbelly of fashion:
Corporeal Textures
Clothing that mimics skin, scars, bark, bone.
Think Iris van Herpen meets a craftsman’s toolbox. Silicone meets silk.
Raw silk, leather scraps, horsehair, teeth, dyed cotton pulp.
Designers like Alexander McQueen, Martin Margiela, and Yohji Yamamoto are tearing fashion down to the bone.
Raw edges. Exposed seams. Dancing textural elements. Staples and stitches basking in the open.
It’s evolving, as if to wear something that could bite back.
Materials That Speak to Bone
Natural materials, bone, horn, metal, leather, linen, they age.
They stain. They bruise. They tell a story.
The fashion world is already leaning in.
Rick Owens has done snakeskin heels. Boris Bidjan Saberi treats fabric under an alchemical lens. Poell rusts metal directly into his textiles.
Wardrobe Rituals: How to Wear It (or Don’t)
If it’s not a “hell yeah,” it’s a “no.”
There are no rules, but here are some style spells, straight from The Labs:
-
Bone hoops + oversized wool coat
Let the jewelry murmur while the coat speaks loudly. -
Tooth pendant + layered textures
Raw on ravished. -
Snake-shed resin earrings + deconstructed silk blouse
Soft and sharp in the same breath. -
Alligator bolo + linen tunic
Sometimes, less is more.
This Isn’t Fashion. This Is Wardrobe Spellcraft.
Lost Adornments was made to pair with clothing that feels like it could summon something:
Ancestors. Spirits. Storms.
In a time where sustainability and craftsmanship should be at the forefront, art plays a more vital role than ever.
