concept

From the belief that hunting is an allegory of the design process. A hunter’s actions have one sole purpose: to outfox the prey. Similarly, fashion designers hunt down ideas to reset them and thus create new styles. The collection was inspired by that kind of force that drives the hunter to go hunting. Nina and Simon visually sum it up as a soap bubble, the symbol for the perfect prey since it only exists until it is caught. These are designers hunting for the desire to dress people. By ignoring boundaries, they wanted to create a space to unleash this desire.
