Sruli Recht<\/strong> was born in Israel, moved to Australia, and built a design studio in Iceland where he has produced a line of beautiful men’s shoes made from whale foreskins, and so much more!<\/p>\n

“For his first complete collection of menswear, dubbed \u201cWhen Gravity Fails,\u201d Recht\u2019s particular futuristic aesthetic can best be described as boasting an ethereal masculinity.”

\u201cIcarus, post-crash<\/em>,\u201d for example, is a sheath made up of blackbird feathers sourced by local marksmen. By contrast, the white wondrous woolly creation entitled \u201cBorn out of this,<\/em>\u201d is derived from 27 still born lambs, giving purpose to the lost souls that were not meant to be.”*<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

Did you get that? That’s 27 still born lambs. \u00a0 Here is an older piece:<\/p>\n

The Binding of Isaac<\/strong><\/em> is a four-cornered shawl of German flannel, dyed twice with the blood of a ram and left to cure for ten months. The hand-sewn binding is resurrected golden military dead-stock satin, and has twined and knotted tzitzit [tassels] attached to its four corners with 613 tight knots.<\/p>\n

This designer has been at it for a long time. His work is the kind of thing I usually scoff at but there’s something about Sruli Recht that projects integrity as well as genuine artistry. His descriptions of his products are witty and often poetic.<\/p>\n

Google him if you want to know more. Or see him on video here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Do you find him pretentious or fascinating? Would you even have sex with him<\/span>?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
