FUTURE COLLECTION
SPRING-SUMMER 08

At the encounter of an uncertain future in which an ever cyclical past is reviewed.  Structures which are time and time again renewed in an unceasing return whose only end is to achieve the innovation of its materials and lines.  It is a journey that sets off from the beginnings of Bauhaus, from a futuristic vision at the end of the sixties, from the rational architecture of Mies van der Rohe or Le Coboursier, from the organic forms of Pierre Cardin’s Palais Bulle… to end up in a tangible present time seen through a prism in which a constantly evolving beauty of infinite possibilities is perceived.

Like leit-motiv, with the future arises a voluptuous and modern collection, which is cleanly cut and the pattern making well-studied, in which night dresses of adjusted silhouettes stand out that are hidden beneath trench raincoats which abandon their urban side in this way. One side covers short skirts and Capri style trousers which serve as a connection with the cocktail dresses which are studied in different volumes, both in the lower parts and at the back, volumes in which pleated capes with different thicknesses are experimented with until the desired silhouette is obtained.

This is a structure that is fabricated with a contrast between natural and technological tissues. There is a mixture of rich tissues such as Mikado silk and taffeta, with metallic shades.  There is purity of the cotton batiste and the gauzes of technological tissue silk with three-dimensional effects and plastics with velvet finishes.  There are metallic sequins which are arranged in the way of a coat of mail.  All of this is enriched with metallic applications and synthetic fibres like a counterpoint to the esparto and raffia.

A luminous future is represented in whites of different intensities, a white colour that is combined with silver colours in each one of its shades.  There is a whole range of greens and blues to which browns and earth tones are added as emphasis of a future that has to be in tune with nature.  And for night time there is black, which is a colour that comes in at full force, to exhibit its energy on being contrasted with aging golds and coppers.
