LIGHTWEAR METAMORPHOSIS

The Metamorphosis
of Lightness

Lightness symbolises freedom, comfort, mobility, and the move beyond excess.

The luxury of the future will be measured not by its weight, but by its weightlessness, by its ability to blend seamlessly with the body. Materials become so light that they appear ethereal: ultra-fine fabrics, fluid surfaces and carefully considered transparencies move naturally with the body, creating a new level of comfort and freedom.

Colours

A spectrum of colours, diaphanous transparencies and an interplay of light blend and transform to create an infinite array of nuances. The soft, delicately tinted neutrals, Mist Grey, Rosy Linen and Muted Sage, take on a new dimension, providing the perfect contrast to the brighter hues: Sunny Yellow, Aqua Green and Radiant Lilac. Yellow exudes a subtle, enveloping glow, bringing out and enhancing the shades around it as part of a sophisticated balance of light and soft shadows.

White completes the palette as a versatile and universal colour that can blend harmoniously with any other colour, accentuating its brightness and contemporary appeal.
