As a teaser for their new A/W Collection Devoa decided to collaborate with their regular photographer Kazuyoshi Usui and avant-garde “ikebana” artist Megumi Shinozaki to create a series of pictures illustrating themes of evolution , camoflage / military motifs and a return to nature.

For this new collection Devoa were inspired by the study of the insect world and their process of metamorphosis and constant need for adaption and change to evolve and adapt to their environment.
In a similar way the Designer places great emphasis on the need for continuous development in technique and new material research rather than abrupt changes in style to suit shallow trends.

This season was also influenced by a visit to a Military Museum in Paris and the antique uniforms discovered there , particularly the detailing in the uniforms and the materials favored for both officers and regular troops.

Limited edition pieces will be created from antique , dead-stock fabrics previously used for Officers Jackets.
Materials that solved problems for the military in the past have been reconstructed for use in our modern life today.
A metamorphosis of a kind with the aim of perfecting construction to balance the functions of comfort , ease of wear and beauty of silhouette.
Design with universal application and appeal which still retains extremely high quality and style.
