Spring/Summer 2011
A high-end collection where the principles of Avant - Garde are optimized
The collection contains both minimalistic and complex aspects of shape and form. The square in fold, a returning theme, has for SS11 been reworked. The result is creations with futuristic aspects and preferences of abstract bug-like creatures with an exciting feminine undertone. The silhouette bears an extraordinary nuance of masculinity that brings the androgynous aspect between male and female to an edge.
The collection is following the ethical rules of the sustainable principles that Barbara I Gongini is famous for. The collection is 75% sustainable. The collection is androgynous and colours are kept in the shadow side where grey and black nuances are heavily saturated towards the optical white Key words / Concept /diversity of the square in fold Texture / organic cotton, artificial silk, fish skin, lambs leather, goat skin, rubber and metal Colour / black, griffen grey, dark shadow grey and optical white Sex / androgyn Rating / 75% sustainable Mood / Dark Avant-Garde, bug with an undertone of femininity and masculinity with a raw edge
