Nuns in Bad Habits – A Fusion of Tradition and Avant-Garde

A KALTBLUT exclusive taken from our new digital issue by Mert Degirmendereli. The series titled ‘Nuns in Bad Habits’ is an exploration that draws inspiration from the iconic architectural elements of traditional nun habits, which have long adorned the heads of these religious figures. The title encapsulates a double entendre, alluding to both their distinctive head garments and their veiled indiscretions.

Within this series, the fusion of fashion and art is combined. It marries the traditional with the avant-garde, taking essential elements from the source material and elevating them to an exaggerated and structured silhouette. The result is a collection of fashion portraiture that invites viewers to ponder the interplay between tradition and contemporary expression.
