Psychedelic design duo Meadham Kirchhoff underscores nostalgic social movements from decades prior, incorporating everything from vintage kitsch to retro patterns responsible for their infamous culture-clashing designs. Lace, glitter and sequins have become a staple of their vibrancy throughout the seasons, as well as heavily designed ornate accessories with gaudy, linear tendencies. It feels like Meadham Kirchhoff takes note of style-misfits throughout the decades both past and present, and then infuses them with a current vintage trend they are obsessed with, resulting in an oddly familiar yet somehow futuristic appeal. In their Fall 2012 Ready To Wear show, disco was repackaged into recognizable silhouettes of 1990's grunge and classic English punk aesthetics. Instead of heavy leather jackets, they used puffy furs dyed in vibrant colors, some of which had been created to look like monsters with ferocious teeth. No matter the season, the models always have incredible hair in a plethora of colors and edgy chops, resulting in a new-age club kid appeal of some other time and place.

MUSIC!! lovin how it goes from upbeat disco to mild screamo punk, and then transitions perfectly into "dancing queen". I want to know who did the music, I think I found my new fave DJ
