'When I Close My Eyes' by Bo Van Melskens
Bo Van Melskens is not, as some may reason, the name of this Berlin-based label’s designer, but a fictive character – a female dandy serving as muse and inspiration for both designer Sarah Elbo's collections and her Future Tense film. When I’m Asleep… takes the viewer into Bo’s universe, inventing, constructing and presenting a narrative from her life via Super 8 snapshots of action, all the while dressed in Bo Van Melsken’s 2008 collections to meld fiction with reality.
