Captured Insanity.

Being disturbed is one of the many reasons why some people end up in a mental institution, they generally experience feelings of anguish, anxiety, confusion and deliberation. The clothing pieces associated with a mental institution are usually odd of character, simple, minimalistic and defensive. However it can be understood as though the garments act as a protection; the buckles and straps are both part of that protection, it is as if they are clinically tailored to hold you in and secure you. 
The theme of insanity is being described throughout the clothing and the mental state of the patients. 
From my point of view I feel that the images below portray these people as being especially sexual and  revealing. The more they reveal the freer and more provocative they feel.
The images of the people as well as the garments below resemble the insane behaviors of the patients in a mental institution:


According to the photographs taken by Steven Klein (Institutional White.), Thordur Sveins describes the women as being pretty and interesting even though they are in an insane refuge. They occasionally turn up in fashion and movies such as Girl Interrupted and Sucker Punch. Even though I am not a fan of these types of different, disturbing and provoking subjects, I want to introduced to you, "Institutional White". 
Further readings from the magazine, Interview, describe the strict institutional white as the new order this season. Clinically reserved and precisely tailored with maniacal attention to detail. Inspired by the legend of an actress who refused to conform through her descent into madness, Steven Klein conjures an imaginary tale of discipline, betrayal, will, and obsession.
