Moving through a forest of ver tical bars, she leaps. Moving forward to play. Seize the white contrast with the red. Contemplate their rhythm and poetry against the blue.

Relish the powerful harmony which scores a fresh palette. Declare the primary colours as a manifesto of purism.

What is useful must be beautiful. We invent a style to change us. Nothing is a small gesture. At the end of this search, a balance shall be found.

Radical. Pure lines form ample shapes and generous proportions. In counterpoint, warm fabrics create a topography of sensuality and depth. The designs assert their graphic power. The garment’s lining — its functional double sidedness — comes fully to light, almost hypnotically, with a flick of the wrist. From a chromatic field in chiaro-oscuro — backlit peat, clay, ebony, sepia, and hazelnut — a luminous winter springs forth. Nighttime with shades of brown and black.
