A BREATHTAKING COLLECTION WITH THE ALLURE OF GREEK LEGENDS AND REFERENCING A SERIES OF DIFFERENT PRINTS MAINLY USING THE SHIBORI TIE-DYE TECHNIQUE
In this show Joseph Altuzarra “takes us on an odyssey through a mythological landscape,” the collection straddling the “supernatural and human,” the “magic and real.” he says.
A breathtaking collection that made use of a variety of prints, mostly made with the Shibori tie-dye technique, Altuzarra pushed the boundaries of what was possible with the Japanese color technique. Rorschach tests, Shibori landscapes (a specific ombré muted rainbow on a trench and dress combo and sunset on a sleek knit dress were hard to refuse), flower and foliage motifs, and more were all there.
The inkblot pattern, a major element of the show, was evoked in the opening parka look. With huge hoods that doubled as wraps and toggle fasteners covered in rhinestones, Altuzarra glammed them up. When these parkas reached the evening finale, they were embroidered on vivid, glittering satins to pair with a matching skirt or dress, and they were laced and twisted at the shoulder, giving the impression that they should be worn how Marilyn Monroe wore a stole.
