Summer 2011
The quest for consciousness and individuality, Jan Taminiau synthesizes beings with hieratic incarnation. The prototypes, woven with shiny threads of silver, black and white tones irradiate a mysterious and eerie atmosphere.
«Escapism» from Iris van Herpen transforms the human body contours in coral like volumes, mineral forms into cellulosic organism , with the complicity of the hat maker Stephen Jones.
The Artisanal's collection Maison Martin Margiela explores the essence of matter under a microscope, the radical and magnified elementarism of knitting, weaving and braiding.

Explosion of colors at Maurizio Galante's, amazonian make ups, folded ornements and volumes embrace and decorate the bodies.
Franck Sorbier stages, Indian, Athenian, African graphism and technical perfection. A collection stamped with a universal feeling.But it does move!!
Of surrealist inspiration , the precious Bal of Worth Couture by Giovanni Bedin explores the theme of the day and night. Corsets and tutus decorated with golden bees and embroided with moths.
Art/C or the Art of imagining silhouettes and defining a style!
