New to UO for SS'12, the Antipodium collection has taken its name from the 1978 Woody Allen film, Interiors. Inspired by a true family drama, the contrasts of comfort and fear, beauty and violence, and that buttoned-up, British politeness that can flare into a sudden, spectacular row. Using familial roles and their sartorial codes, Antipodium’s designer Geoffrey J. Finch has set about to subvert them for SS'12. A dad’s shirt has been supersized and reworked as womenswear; your little brother’s bomber is reworked into a sharp, sporty jacket, and feminine handicraft is given a tougher edge.
