Porcelain coffee cups used as ni**le covers, vintage chairs turned upside down and transformed into shirts, belts into dresses, hair into oversized Elizabethan collars from reclaimed violin bows. The strange and the romantic come together on the catwalk at HODAKOVA, as if having fun with old houshold items were the sexiest pastime of all. But Ellen Hodakova Larsson’s work is much more than a perverse fantasy turned reality, much more than a love letter to nature: it’s her calling.  Growing up in the Swedish countryside, surrounded by horses on her family’s farm, she learned how to make and mend clothes from her mother. This upbringing helped Hodakova develop a profound respect for nature and for its undeniable laws of creation and destruction, inspiring her to care for even the simplest objects and transform them into luxury craft projects.

Des tasses à café en porcelaine utilisées comme cache-tétons, des chaises vintage renversées et transformées en chemises, des ceintures métamorphosées en robes, des cheveux sculptés en cols élisabéthains oversize à partir d’archets de violon de récupération. Le bizarre et le romantique se rencontrent sur les podiums de HODAKOVA, faisant du détournement d’objets du quotidien le plus sexy des passe-temps. Mais le travail d’Ellen Hodakova Larsson est bien plus qu’une fantaisie perverse devenue réalité, bien plus qu’une lettre d’amour à la nature : c’est sa vocation. Ayant grandi dans la campagne suédoise, entourée de chevaux sur la ferme familiale, elle a appris à fabriquer et à raccommoder les vêtements auprès de sa mère. Cette éducation a permis à Hodakova de développer un profond respect pour la nature et ses lois incontestables de création et de destruction, l’inspirant à prendre soin des objets les plus simples pour les transformer en pièces d’artisanat de luxe.

Oggi dire di essere stati K-pop stan non suona più come una confessione imbarazzante. Piuttosto racconta un modo di vivere internet che, prima di essere fatto di algoritmi, AI slop e membership a pagamento, era fatto soprattutto di persone con un’ossessione in comune. Non è un caso che alcune delle nuove icone della Gen Z, come Chase Infiniti, PinkPantheress e underscores, continuino a parlare del loro passato da K-pop stan. Voi cosa ne pensate?

Today, saying you used to be a K-pop stan no longer sounds like an embarrassing confession. Instead, it reflects a way of experiencing the internet that, before algorithms, AI slop and paid memberships, was built above all around people with a shared obsession. It’s no coincidence that some of Gen Z’s new icons, such as Chase Infiniti, PinkPantheress and underscores, continue to talk openly about their past as K-pop stans. What do you think?
