The spring-summer collection from Courrèges kicked off with a unique invitation sent to show guests. Each invitation was adorned with a chrome Moebius strip ribbon and engraved with the brand's name. "Everything in our world is dual," said creative director Nicolas Di Felice. He added that we live in a time when cyclicity has taken on a whole new dimension, and he aims to explore this concept in his designs.
Di Felice's vision of cyclicity was beautifully expressed through the Moebius strip motif. He explained that "a simple sheet of paper becomes something with no beginning or end - neither inside nor outside." While referring to the cyclical nature of fashion and the brand's archives, Di Felice also emphasized his own contribution, which becomes increasingly noticeable with each new season.
The fashion house's latest iteration embodies a youthful, confident, party-ready aesthetic. Di Felice showcased this idea through the use of fabric loops incorporated into trousers, creating a "circular composition" for each piece. The circular composition was further emphasized with the show's musical accompaniment, which began and ended with the sounds of rolling steel balls.
The collection also featured leather canon dresses, wire constructions along the hem and neckline to create an airy fabric effect, rectangular necklines reminiscent of previous collections, and the brand's signature front pocket. The predominant color scheme was black and white.
This new collection from Courrèges celebrates the concept of cyclicity, featuring innovative design elements and unique silhouettes. With the Moebius strip motif as its centerpiece, the collection explores the dual nature of our world and embraces the beauty of repetition in fashion.
