PROGRAMME
"INSPIRATION: autumn / winter 2022-23"
While entering this new chapter in history, we revisit the art heroes and heroines of our recent past. Inspired by the essence of their creative spirit, we can learn from their philosophy as much from their aesthetics. Somehow these artists all fit snugly again into our expectations and willingness to change in the coming years. Now, the vitality of these role models will set a new tone for the years to come. Therefore, fashions will be unsettled, fabrics will be overhauled, cooked, pummelled and coated, and style will be independent, with the great return of styling. We have much to learn from outsider designers, innovative colours, streetwise combinations and fluid practices, mixing together all genders, ages and races, with special reverence for indigenous expression.
"ANIMISM: Fashion"
Animism is the belief that inanimate objects can be imbued with their own energy source, and as such, can be an infinite inspiration for creating winter fashions and homeware concepts with soul. The result is breathtaking and ground-breaking, shifting the buying of garments, products and furniture from an act of consumption to an act of curation, aiming for precise choices that become gifts infused with energy; clothes and objects that will become friends. Inspired by the elements of nature, these items are timeless and ageless, and will be wise investments for the long run. This presentation explores how sustainable clothes and products can be disconnected from fast trends and marketing, looking for an alternative, deeper meaning. Taking care of the planet and people alike, giving us hope for the future. These design directions have their own identities and can elevate capsule collections, delivering made-to-pleasure choices. The smaller and more concise, the better the message of your intentions will be. Enjoy this new pathway to creativity!
