Finnish designer Daniel Palillo is injecting into the world of fashion a healthy dose of dark humor through his pop-culture meets cyber-occult design aesthetic. His typical creative devices while graphically bold are symbol oriented and relatively simple, with a heavy influence of animation paired with jarring text. Sharp contrasting colors, esoteric subject matter and a bit of whimsy are packaged neatly inside the silhouettes of clothing that looks like it belongs in a Spike Lee movie from another universe. Always a sucker for anything resembling Tokyo street style, fASHLIN puts Daniel Palillo up alongside the ranks of
KTZ for a battle of who can do it better. From
Daniel Palillo's website:
"Palillo’s universe is situated in a time after the Internet where new styles are developed from unidentified objects; created among gangs who communicate with an enigmatic language. Here, only shirts with words speak and caps with antennas listen. The end."
