Arsutoria: "Re-Patching" Trend - AW 2016/17

A creative adventure that rewrites the manifesto of a contemporary style. An assembly of patterns and textures are given a touch of sexiness to renew styles and combinations. From casual to dressy, the new “assemblages” are the result of artistic manipulations that have fun playing with glamour, adding a rebellious touch.

Colours
Melting colorful, Oxidated brown, Sparkle fluo.

Materials
Sensual and sexy fabrics and leather. Wealth and extravagance of modern folk contrasts. Glitter, frills, sequins, embroidery, prints, damasks. Fur, feathers, velvet, lace. New wool jacquards mixed with ethnic prints and fabric patterns, great focus on fur combined in shades of rainbow colours. Glossy and fine pearly finishes for Her, for Him vintage updated by colour splashes on leather and white with distressed effects. Matt and slightly oxidized gold finishes of Deco taste for details.

Shapes
Retro lines and volumes reinterpreted with eclectic styles. For her, large bottoms with reworking of the “spool” heel. Roundness, edges, ornaments that enrich the forms. For him, slender, elongated lines. Bags with irregular volumes for special models.
