Microplastics in the Oceans: line-up of the first five outfits against an underwater background
01Concept

Making the invisible visible

Tiny fragments travelling through water, air and living organisms, from land to sea and into the food chain. Fluid, irregular, layered forms evoke the currents and the spread of microplastics; against them, modular, transformable and reversible silhouettes, biodegradable materials, recycled yarns and bio-based fabrics tell a story of regeneration.

02Research

Moodboard and silhouettes

Underwater imagery, corals and fabrics floating in the water; a selection of couture and runway silhouettes as a reference for volume and construction.

03Colours and fabrics

From ocean to coral

A colour chart running from Ocean Mist and Deep Current to Living Coral. Fabrics: double-face wool cloth, cotton jersey, silk satin, cotton net, wool twill, drill and denim; manipulations with applied cords, irregular stitching, fringing, voluminous ruffles and embroidery.

04Line-up

Ten outfits

Balloon volumes, ruffles, layered net and coral-inspired details, in burgundy, lilac, teal and orange.

05Technical drawings

The heart of the collection

The layered skirt with wide ruffles recalls waves, corals and jellyfish; the jacket, fitted at the waist, bursts open on the arms with layers that echo the skirt. A jersey top, a denim jacket bodice, voluminous satin sleeves stiffened with fusible interfacing, a wool-twill lining and a skirt entirely in satin.
