The Fauna Beach Short is a part of the Deus Ex Machina Spring 2018 Mens Collection.

Bjorn Lie is a Norwegian artist based in Bistol, England.

Inspired by old botanical illustrations, folk art and noir films, Bjorn’s professional and personal work is playfully naive yet rich with detail and texture.

He seems drawn to anatomically incorrect characters and strangely beautiful landscapes, bizarre flowers and plants. He likes orchids, although their flesh is too much like the flesh of men, and their perfume has the sickly sweetness of corruption.

This elasticated beach short features Bjorn floral yardage, back flap pocket with brass and mother of pearl snap closure and a coin pocket, with 98% cotton 2% spandex poplin fabrication and a heavy enzyme stone wash.

Designed and tested at the Deus House of Simple Pleasures, Camperdown, Sydney.
