concept
"We still need chaos inside ourselves to give birth to a dancing star. We use a language that teaches us to listen with our eyes. We set our goal, we planted the seed of our highest hope. We are sure the ground is still fertile. We are convinced that our eyes are still able to listen. We believe clothes cannot exist without being translated into words. They can be implicit, they can even exist only in an imaginary world. Collages represent an effort to connect reality to words and mental images. The excess of what exists is saturating the perception of what was once a passion for a select few. Re-assembling now means recovering a language that risks getting lost in massification.” More than a collection, this is a manifesto, a waking call to save what, for this collective of designers lead by former ITS finalists Fabrizio Talia and Justin Smith, is the purest essence of fashion.
