Davidelfin: Katharsis SS12

Extra

Spanish fashion designer Davidelfin’s Spring Summer 2012 collection, entitled Katharsis, embraces block-saturated and semi-saturated hues. His catwalk show in Milan earlier this season accentuated the vibrancy of his chosen hues with a background of graduated colour. By including bright white areas in the garments, the overall atmosphere is fresh, graphic and optimistic.

The collection will be launched for purchase online on January 30, 2012.

Creator
Creator Creator In contrast to the highly slick and technology-driven aesthetics of recent seasons, designers are embracing a quirky, imaginative approach to creativity. Inventive techniques and bold experiments with colour and material highlight the making process, achieving playful and abstracted effects.

Pigment-inspired and hand-coloured finishes feed this aesthetic. The palette is centred on vivid colourful tones, featuring saturated Aqua Mint, Coral Red and Pollen, offset by rich Maroon and Dark Denim.
