THE THEME OF THE NEW COLLECTION IS INSPIRE BY
“Metropolis”… is the future view from back a century,
describes a terrifyingly futuristic city but delusion
beautiful, deliciously declining and melancholic, in a
chaotic universe, beautiful and perverse with glamour
cinematographic touch in great Art Deco staged.
The film gives the name to the collection that
ambitioned to review the futuristic vision of the 20’s
in a contra-sense for the current demand of the
revivalism, adapting futuristic concepts of our past to
our present.
Sweeter interpretations of mechanical forms, subtle
exaggerated volumes, and decadent but elegant details.
Colors that reflect brightness and darkness, in a
metallic context, worked in contrasts or harmonies. Grey
tones of lead and silver, icings in rusted tonalities,
and blue color tonalities of and aged roses.
The materials suggest volumes and delineate
imperfections, in natural and technological compositions
assuming the future seen in the past.
