Fall Winter 2019/20 EPIDÈMIC

The collection is inspired by Il dottore della peste, a doctor specialising in the black plague. Many of these doctors do not have a traditional instruction, they were rather empirical doctors. During Renaissance some of these doctors used masks in the form of bird peaks filled with aromatic herbs to filter the air and protect oneself from infection. The collection is freely inspired by it, both aesthetically and conceptually. Hoods, overlapping layers, a black-and-white contrast and snap hooks are some of the characteristic elements.
