Dutch artists Darwin. Sinke and Van Tongeren are flamboyant taxidermists who work with museums and ethically acquire deceased animals to explore natural history's beauty, value and emotion. Juxtaposing the beautiful and the macabre, the reversible A-side of the 'Darwin and Unknown' gown features a fresh palate cleanser of white, where a macaw takes up centre stage. A quote by Charles Darwin is hidden in the hemline, almost as if written in invisible ink.
On the reversible B-side, feathers shine in iridescent colours, extravagantly blown up to magnificent proportions. Embroidery in silver gunmetal tread with artworks, phrases and words inspired by Charles Darwin tell stories of discovery and the origins of the species.
