Giulio d'Arpino

The collection is inspired by Jack Finney’s science fiction novel “Time and Again”, in which the protagonist embarks on a time travel between 1882 and 1970 in New York, eventually deciding to stay in the past together with his loved one. From this idea comes the contamination of two styles and eras distant from each other, that meet one another in between the tailoring cuts of the late nineteenth century with details from the street-style of the 70s. As for applications and prints, the drawings stem from the illustrations in the book “Art Forms in Nature” by the biologist-artist Ernst Haeckel, which represent shells. A natural element unchanged over time formed by sinuous and pointy shapes at the same time as the asymmetrical and puffy volumes inspired by the works of the artist Christo dedicated to the movement of the fabric around the female body.
