Austrian designer Carol Christian Poell is the most revolutionary figure in the history of fashion. Famous for his mastery of textiles and innovative use of iconoclastic materials, every Poell piece is a highly conceptual and wearable work of art. From human hair neckties to taxidermied animal accoutrements, nothing about clothing is presupposed. Based in Milan he produces only a single collection each year: a symbolic rejection of the fashion industry's commercial dependency on seasonal fads and trends.
