At the show, we saw these looks emerge, precise and technical, as if powered by a definite sense of purpose, but also embellished and decorated with painterly motifs.The contrast was beautiful, like a hand embroidered space suit, something in itself almost contradictory.We wanted to develop this first impression by finding the perfect world from which these looks were beamed, and the duty to which they were dedicated,” says Partel Oliva, “From this came the motorbikes, the helmeted acrobats endlessly polishing off impossible movements and the girl in the middle, who follows her own set of rules and splinters the perfect order.” Dare to follow suite?
