BALMACARA

A contrast of the mundane and familiar with a sense of the unreal. The collection features transparent x-ray like garments, revealing their underlying construction like radiographs.

SS17 alludes to something very ephemeral, linked somehow with both the infinity of nature and the minutiae of everyday experience. At once intense and fleeting, heightened and emotional; fully devoted to the moment in which it exists, whether melancholic or euphoric.

Inspired by a visit to Scotland and walk through a fine rain within a forest on a strangely anachronous summer’s day. A collection that evokes the omnipresence of nature as an immovable influence, to which we are both connected and disconnected.
