‘You have seen because you have believed.’
Charles de Gaulle to Henri Cartier-Bresson


“Henri Cartier-Bresson plus now” was perhaps the most essential element, which drove the collection through into its place. Grasping the decisive moment and understanding the aesthetic of Cartier-Bresson’s work then reinterpret in my own way. The collection was profoundly influenced by the mood and soul of Cartier-Bresson’s photographs that immaculately embrace geometry, harmony and composition. Jackets were tailored and structured into harmonised geometric blocks with attention to details and hang comfortably on the body. Functionality was another focal point of the collection, combination of garments using diverse high performance synthetic fabrics such as minerale, cocona and applying M5 Lamination technology which creates fabric surface that outside: hydrophobic and inside: hydrophillic that suits all condition. Seamless circular knitted vests were computerised into geometrical patterns. The collection has the feel inbetween hi-tech and lo-tech with latent modernity.
