A shipwreck on the clouds told through yarns. The protagonists of this adventure are eccentric and colorful characters, individuals who love to play with fashion and are always looking for new vibes. Inspired by the tracks of the album "Caravelle" by Polo & Pan, the collection starts from a spicy, warm, tropical, and sensual world, dominated by bright and primary colors, and then crosses geometric and surreal landscapes, where reality and fantasy come together for the alienating effect of optical prints in black and white. A leap upwards, a progressive abstraction that culminates in very high skies, crystalline and rarefied universes, dreamlike places in pastel tones. The garments are the evocation of an adventure: ethnic and colorful sequences, inspired by songs such as "Mexicali" or "Zoom-Zoom", are combined with jacquard papers where black and white yarns intertwine in illusionistic patterns, designed on the notes of "Nana" or "Coeur Croisé". Finally, songs like "Abysse" and "Aqualand" suggested delicate three-dimensional textures that make the yarn the protagonist, in its infinite flexibility, reproducing the wide landscapes of the sky in all their delicacy.
