Chloma's Autumn/Winter 2014 collection is named after and inspired by the Blue Screen of Death. When a PC computer crashes due to a fatal error, the blue screen appears, signaling the demise of your electronic device.
Chloma designers Junya Suzuki and Reiko Sakuma created a clothing collection based on this idea and transformed fatal errors into a fashion statement.
This surprisingly wearable range is made up of sculptural coats, printed statement sweaters and matching separates that exude a feeling of comfort.
The pieces feature matching prints and exaggerated silhouettes. Whether highlighting draped, layered or hooded pieces, Chloma's 'Blue Screen of Death' collection features protective styles that create a cocoon for their wearer. Inspired by internet culture and technology, the range will appeal to the fashion lover with an appreciation for conceptual and futuristic styles.
