The new S/S Collection is named “SOLACE”

To seek Solace, is to seek comfort in times of distress. The Designers were drawn by the concept of “reaction” – that even during times of misfortune or pain, there is some sense of relief. So – SOLACE is a reaction against distress. The collection shows a personal journey, visualized in three stages – mourning, limbo and re-birth (and/or after-life). Shown through the use of color,construction and shapes.

Designs were inspired by elements of the Minimalist art movement, and the idea of “less is more”.

Artists such as Frank Stella , Donald Judd . Dan Flavin , Richard Serra and Jannis Kounelli
This period was born as part of a reaction to abstract expressionism and this opposition; the reaction from one art movement to the next, reflects the relationship of solace to pain.

The main colors of the collection are : Black – mourning / White – Limbo / Red – Re-birth

The fabrics of this summer collection are light , wearable and breathable but can still maintain structural architectural properties. So mainly coated and uncoated natural fibers, such as waxed cottons and linens are used.
100% microporous, hydrophobic, breathable cotton, with extreme weather (wind and water) resistance. “Reactive” dyed : THE most environmentally friendly commercial dyeing system. This quality has not been coated, but has been integrated into the yarn itself for optimal resistance to wear. It both repels wind and water, and allows perspiration vapor to pass through.Also soft dull leathers, sheer silks and interesting fabric blends with metal content for sculpting.

This collection is an evolution and further explores construction with blunt tough geometries. Using opposing forms and melding them into a Neo-Industrial structural hybrid. The result of taking geometric shapes and sculpting them through an origami approach of folds, cuts and twists to organic forms, a process named by the Designers “Metron-morphosis”.
