"Walter has imagined a collection inspired by Captain Cook’s discovery of Easter Island and by the anticipation of what would be the relics of our time for the future generations."
Interesting inspiration for modern fashion...I am curious if they studied our societies blindness in creating a similiar fate to the Easter Island disaster ...For example in the above essay and in the book "Collapse," Jared Diamond talks about how the Easter Islanders aka the Rapa Nui destroyed themselves from Genocide to Ecocide . Here is a quote on the book from a New Yorker Article
"Collapse" is a book about the most prosaic elements of the earth's ecosystem—soil, trees, and water—because societies fail, in Diamond's view, when they mismanage those environmental factors."
