COLLECTION: DE-CONSTRUCTION
AUTUMN-WINTER 08-09
“Throughout the history of humanity the artful device of clothing has been used to camouflage those perceived things that are lacking in people’s bodies that distance them from the norms of beauty of each époque.”
Extreme Beauty: The Body Transformed, Harold Koda – The Metropolitan Museum of New York, 2001.
The changeable nature of silhouettes, the reduction of colouring and the contrasts of textures are the three basic pillars of this collection that is rich in structures and shapes.
Long-lined silhouettes corrupted by the sculptural distortions of the puffed effects, drapes, “lorzas”, pleats and pear shapes, with details showing transparencies and the sensuality of dizzy necklines.
It is an experimental collection that is rich in all types of clothes and imposes a new concept of femininity through playing with volumes combined with the elegance of the fabrications that are marked around the feminine silhouette for a contemporary woman who has style.
COLOURING AND TEXTURES
Green_ The colour green interpreted as a sign of integration, as a sign of mature sensitivity and of the compensation between the exterior and interior worlds. The integration of the green colour with the contrast of textures such as knitwear, felt knitwear and perforated mesh tulle bear witness to the structural stability of the collection.
Black_ This is a colour which is complete, potent and emphatic; we find positive and negative connotations in its symbolism but the black colour definitively represents elegance, prestige and power. The combination of blacks in technological silk, knitwear, micro-perforated mesh tulle and quilted tulle with a three-dimensional effect construct a long-lined silhouette with architectonic emphasis that express a new concept of feminine sensuality through volumes and textures.
Red_ Red is the expression of vital force and desire; the impulse to make a mark, conquer success and yearn for the intensity and abundance of all types of experiences. The fusion of red in tissues such as pleated tulle with a three-dimensional effect and technological silk represents the capacity of general reaction to external stimuli and reveals the strength of a collection based on the distortion of the silhouette.
