INTRODUCING
RESORT / SPRING–Summer '23
INTRODUCING
THE RESORT / SPRING SUMMER ‘23 COLLECTION IS INSPIRED BY BERLIN-BASED FEMALE ARTIST, ALICJA KWADE. ONE OF THE MOST TALENTED VISUAL ARTISTS OF OUR GENERATION, KWADE PLAYS WITH PERCEPTION AND INTERPRETATION OF TIME AND SPACE THROUGH SCULPTURAL INSTALLATION. WHILE VIEWING THE KAUSALKONSEQUENZ EXHIBITION AT THE LANGEN FOUNDATION, CREATIVE DIRECTOR ANNA HAAS WAS STRUCK BY THE ARTIST’S EXPLORATION AND MANIPULATION OF FAMILIAR MATERIALS.
DRAWING FROM KWADE'S WORK, THIS SEASON IS AN EXUBERANT CELEBRATION OF TEXTURE AND MATERIAL, CAPTURED BY SONIA SZÓSTAK WITH SOPHIE KOELLA. CHAINMAIL STRAPS AND SNAKE CHAIN DETAILS BLEND INTO FABRIC, GLOSSY SEQUINS LIQUIDISE GARMENTS, AMORPHOUS 'STONES' PUNCTUATE DRESSES AND FLUID SILKS ARE GALVANIZED WITH METALLIC FOILING. GLISTENING EYELASH YARNS ILLUMINATE MOONLIGHT POWER KNITS, WHILE HAND-EMBROIDERED BUGLE BEADS ACCENT LUNA POWER KNITS FOR INNOVATIVE TEXTURE. THE CAPTIVATING 'ORCHID' PRINT IS SIMULTANEOUSLY RECOGNISABLE AND INDEFINABLE, ADDING A DISTINCTLY MODERN FEEL TO OUR MOST TACTILE COLLECTION YET.
AS GALVAN CONTINUES TO BUILD OUT ITS RANGE, STATEMENT OUTERWEAR, SUITING AND ELEVATED POWER KNITS PLAY AN IMPORTANT ROLE IN THE COLLECTION, AS DO KEY WARDROBING STAPLES SUCH AS THE FOUNDATIONAL NYX BRALETTE AND SCULPTING VENUS LEGGINGS.

"KWADE’S 2019 EXHIBITION KAUSALKONSEQUENZ AT THE LANGEN FOUNDATION MADE ME APPRECIATE MATERIALS IN AN ENTIRELY NEW LIGHT - NOT ONLY FOR THEIR BEAUTY AND PHYSICAL QUALITIES BUT ALSO THEIR TRANSMUTABILITY. IN THIS COLLECTION, I WANTED TO BUILD ON THIS NOTION OF FLUIDITY AND PUSHING BOUNDARIES. EVEN THE IDENTITY OF THE GARMENTS THEMSELVES COMES INTO QUESTION AS WE ENGINEERED MINIATURE VERSIONS OF KWADE’S SILVER BUGLE SCULPTURES INTO THE KNITWEAR, BLENDING ART AND DESIGN IN NEW WAYS."

COMING SOON
TAKING INSPIRATION FROM KWADE'S WORK, THE SEASON IS AN EXUBERANT CELEBRATION OF MATERIALS: THEIR APPEARANCES, THEIR INHERENT PROPERTIES, AND ALSO THEIR MUTABILITY. METAL BLENDS INTO FABRIC WITH CHAINMAIL STRAPS AND SNAKE CHAIN DETAILS; GLOSSED SEQUINS GIVE GARMENTS A LIQUID FINISH; AMORPHOUS 'STONES' ARE INCORPORATED INTO DRESSES; AND FEATHERWEIGHT SILKS BECOME GALVANIZED WITH METALLIC FOILING. A LUXURIOUS ITALIAN EYELASH YARN BRINGS TO LIFE THE MOONLIGHT POWER KNITS, WHILE HAND-EMBROIDERED MIRRORED BUGLE BEADS GIVE THE LUNA POWER KNIT STYLES THEIR ULTRA-POLISHED APPEARANCE. EVEN THE SEASON'S BLACK AND IVORY PRINT DEFIES EASY DEFINITION. THE CAPTIVATING 'ORCHID' PRINT IS BOTH FAMILIAR AND IMPOSSIBLE TO PLACE, WHICH GIVES ITS BUSTIER DRESS AND COORDINATING SEPARATES AN ORGANIC YET DISTINCTLY MODERN FEEL.

SHOT ON LOCATION BY SONIA SZÓSTAK, SOPHIE KOELLA IS CAST AGAINST AN OTHERWORLDLY BACKDROP OF SALT MINES AND CLIFF FACES. HERE, BOUNDARIES BECOME BLURRED. LIQUID SEQUINS MELT INTO SPARKLING SALT CRYSTALS AND FOILED SILKS SOFTEN POROUS ROCKS. YET WITHIN THIS FLUID ENVIRONMENT, THE GALVAN WOMAN STANDS OUT: CONFIDENT, BOLD AND TIMELESS.
