FROM THE EDITOR:
"A season marked by change, evolution, hybridisation and transformation. Man/woman, terrestrial alien, animal/ mineral, past/future, ancestor/heir. References tend to mix, to exchange opinions, to interact each other in spite of those who would like to separate them, keep them apart, lock them in obsolete and punitive programs.
A hymn to the future seen positively and with optimism in which materials, surfaces and colours contribute to our well-being and to the intimate need to express one's personality in a free and playful way, but always attentive to others, to a different self, to diversity."
KEY THEMES OF THE SEASON:
MIAMI MY LOVE: Tropical spirit revisited in a futuristic and surreal way. Deco District inspires us but with "POP" colours, turquoise, aqua, blue navy, bubblegum pink. Rubbers and plastic surfaces inspired by toys and junk food. Look for exotic, tropical and ethnic patterns but with a futuristic twist. Don't forget the fluffy and spongy elements!!!
ANDROID:Robotics is part of today and tomorrow. The new cybernetic world seen through the eyes of the sci-fi novel of the 60's..Mix between human and A.I. between epidermal and artificial. Colours are neutrals, ranging from rosy and gentle earth colours to the contrast of greish, icy tones. Metallic colours like copper and platinum needed! skin like synthetic materials, transparent materials are part of this futuristic world.
FARM FOLK:
Old West inspirations but with a sophisticated touch. Rural traditions and western folklore, simple materials coming from the known lands, manipulated with ancient techniques, but reinvented. Shades of clay, cellulose, inspired by wheat and straw. Vegetal and rural colours: sage, barley, corn.
Ruffled surfaces. Terracotta and clay inspired by the building materials.
TOTEM TEAM:
The symbols and materials of different cultures are reinterpreted and ennobled. A mix of artistic and tribal, sport and exotic. The colours are primary, intense, derived from the entertainment or the packaging of consumer goods with a strong iconic value. The colours of the football teams, flags, but also of the emojis. Tradition is reinvented.
PROTOROMANTIC:
In the global redefinition of the concept of "gender" the stereotypical elements of masculine and feminine tend to evolve and redefine. Delicate pastel tones in contrast with more acid and technological touches: mint green, Delft blue, chemical rose. 3D floral decorations, sartorial details in sculptural version, fringes, lace and embroidery technologically treated.
GLITTERDRAMA:
Extreme theatrical, surreal game, queer suggestions! The opulence of Indian maharajahs and drag queens. Shiny, metallic, iridescent materials, mixed together with extreme freedom of expression. Purple tones as a basic element, mixed with bright touches of electric blue and ruby red. Crumpled surfaces, embroidered with plots and nets, alveolate, but also paillettes, glittered and coated.
ASTEROID:
In the near future Humanity comes into contact with alien forms and new hybrids. Unknown breeds of flora and fauna are born. The celebration of green as a symbol of diversity. A range divided into two: on one side the military greens, olive and musk, on the other the lunar, abysmal and sci-fi tonalities. Bush-hammered, ruffled, pustular materials. New experimental camouflage. Iridescent, fluorescent, radiant effects.
