Sandro Marzo - S/S 2016

The Italian-born and Switzerland based designer, Sandro Marzo, is focusing on the particularity of traditional textiles and the re-invention of classical men's wear. Cuts and silhouettes are determined by the specific textures of the used materials. This process is not to be seen as a mere minimization, a historical study of materials, but as a continuous development encouraged by chosen thematical concepts.

The Spring/Summer 2016 collection explores Marzo's long-standing fascination with natural patterns and the artificial reproduction of such. The most eye catching is the branching veins of marble stone, which were adapted and counteracted by technical embroidery. This interplay between the ever existing and the human reproduction of it continues throughout the whole set of pieces. Its narrative bipolarity can also be found in the bold combination of leather and nylon, matt and shiny surfaces and the aesthetical citation of technical drawings and graphic forms. The fabrics of Marzo’s sixth collection thereby give homage to his departed father, a professional paver and stonemason, who first introduced him to the relationship of nativeness and artificiality.

Pirosmani - "DEEP EYES" S/S 2016

Now long ago, during MBFW Russia, Pirosmani presented newest collection for S/S 2016. The goal of a designer isn't to showcase only clothes, but to activate the viewer's creative perception. To experience an emotional and an artistic shock together. There's no goal in neither charming nor selling, the aim is to aspire and include into an artistic flow. The human body, sculptures and clothes accompanied by experimental sounds fill the podium and interact with the eyes and consciousness of each viewer.

YUHL JUNG - "Waterfall" S/S 2016

Born in Korea, raised in different parts of South America, creative director Moon Kim had studied Psychology until he enrolled at Parsons The New School for Design in search of something closer to his heart. Three years later he moved to Paris to finish his studies at Studio Bercot. During his years of experience, Moon Kim worked in different fashion houses, while at the same time building up an idea and creating message he wanted to share through his own label. YUHL JUNG is his way of communicating and sharing these messages in a more accessible form, fashion, which upholds the path to a greater awakening, both for him and for those who wear it. The label name YUHL JUNG actually means  ‘a clear flow like water.’
Waterfall by YUHL JUNG is perfection of stillness and beauty of the minimalism. The folds and layers of materials create optical Illusions, making us focus more... to think what is beneath the surface. Color palette is monochrome with shades of blue, styled to represent reflection of the light on the water.

"The Waterfall seems to endlessly flow
day and night, without an end nor beginning.
But how could there be an eternally flowing Waterfall
if not for the sacrifice of ephemerally falling water drops?
So does our Universe flow,
without an end nor beginning.
And our ephemeral stay of Earth
makes this Universe flow."
