OSCILLATING IDENTITIES
SELF ESSENCE
Neutral colors form the basis for the balanced, calm play of materials. Skin and apricot tones cover the fabrics with tender gradations. Restrained metallic gloss looks elegant in satins or graphic jacquards. Delaves radiate naturalness. Peach skin finishes create exciting surfaces for both hand and eye. Elegance and sportiness play with checks, herringbone and technical jerseys.
DREAM PATCHING
Very soft watercolor tones play with bold retro colors. Icy blue, rose and lavender nuances meet nautical blue pine green and ruby red. Romantic patterning creates a dreamy basis with tile motifs, houndstooth and naive jacquards. Characteristic Chanel surfaces and printed laser cuts create lively structures. Abstracted rings and sun chair stripes show creativity in marine motifs. Nets bring a flowing lightness and transparency to the materials.
PSYCHOTECH JUNGLE
The focus of Psychotech Jungel is on defamiliarized prints. Pixels, vegetation, graphic patterns, landscapes: everything gets psychedelically abstracted, distorted, enlarged or blurred. Intense, sporty colors like orange, red and turquoise meet exotic green and purple. This palette finds some relaxation with white, graphite, silver and natural wood tones. Hybrid fabrics are bonded or composed of differing samples. Technical materials, vinyl and silk make shiny, moving surfaces. Perforations, sometimes printed, find applications in sporty jerseys, synthetic leather and glued materials.
DENIM EXTREMES
An extremely simple color palette of blue tones get completed with important summer casual colors like beige, white and greying pastels. The material range is even more wide and extreme than in previous seasons. Super clean materials are just as present as totally bleached-out washes or extremely over dyed indigos. Wheather flowing or solid, structured or super smooth, extremely stretchy or raw and sturdy, jacquards or 3/1 - everything a denim lover could dream of is here.

ORIENTAL LABORATORY
Natural white, beige and sand tones exude a colorful calmness. The warmth of the orient is felt in orange, yellow and bronze colors. An elegant depth is added to this spectrum in the form of black and petrol. Voluminous, grainy and yet floating texture constructions appear as modern unis in cotton/polyamide mixtures. Lots of creativity appears with structured surfaces. Heat-embossed polyester-mixtures and bondings make incredible 3D patterns magically appear. Jacquard and lace gleaming a discreet luxury.
