It's not that I don't know how to articulate myself (well, not fully anyway), it's that this sort of thread is lazy - you can say a designer has a specific style that permeates all their work, and while I'd say that's true, it's rarely reducible to a "look" or even an overarching theme.
>There is nothing wrong with trying to diagnose it
There is when that's the first step you take with getting familiar with a designer's work, if he can't even be bothered to google anything ("He's pretty hard to find on the internet")
I think trying to boil down anyone's work to a single look or a single phrase is pointless, it's the sort of bullshit that gets all of Ann Demeulemeester's menswear lumped together as "Poetic", or people referring to the scope of Rick's work as "Glunge" and seeing the "look" to be either a leather jacket, layered tees, jeans and boots or tees/tanks, pod shorts and sneakers. I mean, does this instantly pop into mind as Dries van Noten? I'm not cherry picking either, so much of his early work is removed from the florals and the asiatique opulence of his current work.
You've outlined what makes Sruli's work interesting to people (use of local leathers/wools, use of draping in combination with the scanner and laser cutter) - but these are all things immediately available to anyone who puts in 5 minutes worth of googling - there's a video specifically about the draping process with the half-mannequin that I posted here >>8838648
Like you said, there's "Weird phases", periods of experimentation and divergence from a "look", which is completely expected from any designer.
Perhaps I'm being overly harsh to the OP but it's just fucking lazy, and it's a moronic question. Even for all your writing, how have you pinned down Sruli's look? "Urban Viking" seems like a throwaway to be honest. Where do hakama-style pleated shorts fit into this concrete viking narrative? Where does so much of Sruli's work?
