The AW15 collection
expresses the evolution of a man in
a group. Friend,
brother or lover, he
gives and learns
from the other, from
them. They all support each other,
com- plete each other and sometimes
clash. Self protection
and preservation is
essential because
their links are fragile. Finally, one gives
up, let go and open
up to the other. They
become
stronger.
A singular energy
emerges from their
exchanges
leaving marks that the
clothes
witness.
Thus, the low sleeves
appear as the mark
of support, the mark
you leave one someone.
Turtlenecks
embody protec- tion
of identity as well as
protection from the
influence of the other.
The volume of the
oversized pants reflects the imposing
place that weaknesses can take, preventing from any change.
Its high-waist tells
how
restrained
you can end up.
The stiffness of the
fabric refers to the
intransigence
of
a decision, that is
sometimes hard to
leave behind. The
proportions are exaggerated, just like
feelings. The organic
flannel jumpsuit embodies gentleness
and integral protection. It allows you to
feel safe and warm.
The jerseys demonstrate the malleability, the adaptation to
another. This malleability is found on
certain cuts like on
the green jumper
for instance, where
the lines come to die
forward. The rib organic cotton basics
show the thinness
from the borders of
the outside while
showing through a
part of oneself. Their
fits gives an impression of a second
skin, the rib reminds
notches that allow
the grip, the attachement to another.
This collection also
questions identity,
the image you give
of yourself that defines you, or in which
you remain locked.
The padded pieces
take the appearance
of an armor, it protects and modifies
the silhouette disproportionately. The nylon, borrowed from
sportswear, contains
the notions of effort
and confrontation.
The woolen coat,
the key piece of this
collection,
brings
to- gether the two
themes by confronting them. The zip
allows you to adjust
the length and refers
to the different selfimages you choose
to show. Through
this, you free yourself from a weight
or you choose to live
with it. It also shows
reinforcements on
the back that could
be considered as a
shell. In fact, they are
a cuddle-pocket. This
shell is pene- trable,
and allows union,
protection of the other, love. This is the
ultimate expression
of SWEN identity.
