The Retraction collection draws inspiration from the eternally revolutionary harmony of Renaissance art, where motifs of human figure composition, the fluidity of nature, emergence, and gradual decline intertwine through processes of effortless and instinctive tightening, closure, and withdrawal. The collection is imbued with details of the vibrancy of the orange color, its creative and exotic elements that, in the chosen shade, connect the dynamic efforts of street fashion to be recognizable, unique, and unforgettable, which ultimately multiplies in spontaneous contrast to the other tones that the collection exudes. Phenomena of compression, tightening, and manipulation of shapes also encompass self-closure and the constant interaction of the labile form. With its oscillations, it solidifies the relationship between the conscious and the unconscious, inner peace and the uncertainty of the external world, and the impermanence that gives meaning to life.
