Johannes Warnke is a multidisciplinary fashion designer. His womenswear brand is signified by merging sustainability, sculpture and sensory perception within dress. In a growlingly virtual world, Johannes Warnke defines luxury fashion as the meaningful physical connection between wearer and clothing focusing on sensory experience and emotive memory within dress.
His inspirations range from kinetic sculpture to brutalist sacred architecture as objects and spaces that enhance calmness and conscious perception of the environment. Warnke translates his philosophical concepts into ambient collections defined by sustainable processes, couture craftsmanship hand-dyed cruelty-free silk, up-cycled materials, structural draping and elaborate textile techniques.
The popularity amongst music artists such as Grimes, Björk, Rina Sawayama, Lady Gaga and Post Malone can be explained in the performative potential of Warnke’s sculptural yet floaty pieces, which emphasize instead of hinder body movement.
