“In our societies now ruled by the vital need for entertainment, the divergent ‘extroverted Slashers’, free-spirited and efficient, stimulate a maximum self-expression which combines communicative power and contagious adrenaline. In terms of shapes, we imagine assertive, shaked, keeled proportions, with volume contrasts: ultra-tight and stretched volumes,” says Archroma.
“Concerning the materials, this refers to compact knits, fine nervous gauges (neo milano stretch pop), embossed ribs, colored furs, knitted materials, city: ultra-matte color drapery, double sides, jeans, over dye, deep dye.”
