Latest Collection

Chapter One - Part Two: " The suprematist"

The collection is a sequel of S / S 2012 which was inspired by Suprematism* and continues the exploration of geometry in contemporary design.
While in the last collection the square and the cross where used primarily, the main figure of A/W 2012 is the triangle. Different shapes and a mixture of dimensions are giving the designs strength in a delicate way.
The silhouettes are constructed with fine compositions of geometric lines. Rocks are translated into digital prints and are giving a new structure to denim and silk. Black, Grey and White colors are mixed into fabrics like an old black & white picture with a lot of grain. Deep red wine and a rusty color make the image complete.
