Michael Riedel gives menswear a graphic slant

last updated 31 August 2022

When it came to creating a canvas for our March Fashion issue's graphic menswear shoot (see W*180) we called on German artist Michael Riedel to constructed a spot-on set. Known for using a variety of media - from large-scale canvas works to fabric installations and film - the artist envisaged a backdrop using blown-up html codes from Wallpaper.com/fashion. This behind-the-scenes film by Alexander Sinclair offers a frenetic insight into Riedel's creative process. Fashion: Jason Hughes
