Houdini is probably one of the most famous personalities from the world of traveling circuses of the 19th Century in North America. The art of unleashing was his specialty. In his shows he was locked up in cages, submerged in water tanks, placed in heavy chains and shackled with fixed ropes. Within minutes he was able to free himself from any situation, which made him an internationally acclaimed artist. While it was Houdini's aim to free themselves from the chains of bondage restraining feature in itself. Almost artistically, the strands in complex linkages and forms are wrapped around the body and knotted.
in the new collection of Berlin's accessories label Carni , which announced in January 2010 on the catwalk of designer Scouts his debut, will interpret this new rope art and made the object of fashion. Colorful strings swirl around the body, wickeln sich mehrfach um Schulter, Arm, Brust und Hüfte und werden so zum lasziven und eleganten Ganzkörperschmuck.
Houdini is probably one of the most famous characters from the world of the traveling carnivals of the 19th century in North Amerika. The art of escape was his specialty. In his shows he was locked in metal cages, flooded in water tanks, wrapped in heavy chains and tied up in strings. He was able to free himself of any situation in minutes which made him a world renowned artist.
While it was Houdini’s goal to get free of his shakles the concept of bondage is taking pleasure in not being able to escape from them. Almost artistically the strings are tied around the body in complex shapes and knots.
