The young Berlin creative duo named c.neeon has attracted international attention for some time. Whether at the ZKM-fashion-show in Karlsruhe, the exhibit moDe! in Tokyo or the presentation “EU Young Fashion Summit” in Vienna, Clara Leskovar and Doreen Schulz keep surprising their public with austere, constructivist, preferably asymmetric creations. Their fashion plays with architectural volumes and bright, lush primary colors borrowed from Mondrian, Sonja Delaunay and the 60s palette. In the meantime they have conquered the realm of the museum, exhibiting in the Berlin “Museum of Decorative Arts”, where they are presenting more than 30 outfits in combination with collages, videos and photomontages.These montages are now available at Lumas. Bodies that become patterns, rasters materializing to clothing, in rooms taken from everyday life, forming a grey scenery, made to be outshone by fashion.c.neeon – the name is a fusion of the duo’s nicknames from childhood – aren’t gaudy, but they do demand self-confidence. There is no hiding once you’ve plunged into their bold block stripes in green and red, into contrasting planes of black and white, overflowing patterns reminiscent of draperies, the kind blowing in the windows of the young German republic. The collages condense this vitality and encourage you to complete the photo to a way of living – through music, literature, art and, of course, fashion.
