TRIMAPEE is a Melbourne based label, that I personally think is quite avant-garde. It is one of the labels I feel is ahead of it's game in the Australian fashion industry, artistically and creatively. As you know my love for conceptual film and music, TRIMAPEE's film “Umbilical Ventriloquial” for their Fall 2011 Collection, encapsulate this, exploring the nature and science of birth and the connection between mother and child.
Personally, I think this is also another reason in why the ambiguous nature of this unisex collection truly looks into this link, as in a mother's womb, gender really does not matter. The baby is not influenced. It is only when they are born where the influence of what to wear and how to act is put on to them, hence why men and women are often separated into different attitudes and their clothing (having a conception of what is right and wrong). TRIMAPEE's clothes would clearly show how their wearer can be anybody and there is specific or judgment in what you choose to wear.
The expressive motions and movement really show the notion of nurturing, comfort and support that they are trying to achieve with their clothes. I also really like the music which creates an atmosphere to the film.
I've honestly always wanted to buy some items from them, but right now, money is not on my side haha.
