Fashion brand USI-SUSI has commissioned VARIANT to create a collection of mythologically inspired head accessories. The ‘Mask’ collection consists of six head accessories, each with its own spirit, personality and story. The essence of the mythological creatures are captured in each mask through particularly developed pattern that is created from specifically selected Kvadrat Steelcut-Trio fabric. The personality of each mask is enclosed by turning flat material into consistent three dimensional shapes that have absolutely no offcuts. Each mask can be adjusted to any head size or even unrolled to a flat piece. Some of the ‘Mask’ accessories are more subtle, while other designs are much more glaring. Expressive lines, vivid colours and raw stitches are combined into the charismatic whirlwind. ‘You can be anything, you are anything. There are no boundaries. You have beauty, wildness, playfulness, wisdom, a scientist, a goblin, a writer, a designer, a secretary, a child, a TV star, a grandma, anything, inside you. It has all been put inside you, you just need the right words and actions to access it. Don’t frighten your inner force; coax it out, step by step. Try it out, what and when you want to be. Be. Anything.

Six head accessories are designed for each day of the week, with the ability to be yourself on the last day of the week. Head accessories give power, mood and the freedom to be whatever you like to be…
