WOMEN COLLECTIONS AUTUMN/WINTER 201 7.18

In the world of nature, evolution and strategies used by species to survive, feature real illusions. Imitation and mimicry, smart and sophisticated forms of trickery, work like forces to change the aspect. Humans often look to these dynamics to construct the objects and accessories they carry with them. This creates a world of design in which things take on the reality of illusions. Not psychic projections, but veritable optical shifts that talk about the Stella McCartney's joined-together glove-bag and Burberry's bangle-heeL which holds up a pointed sock-ankle boot create a kink in the established order. The trend seems to adopt the aposematism strategies used by certain animals. The 'claw' bags by Marco de Vincenzo and the veritable Xanadu from GuccL in which dragon's wings inhabit black patent adorned with warrior studs, explore imaginary lands and places. Full combat for running for the beauty of movement, going and extracting the essence of the gesture. A sporty attitude made up of soft bucket bags with laces and cords (Versace), armour-plated boots and ankle boots (Louis Vuitton), climbing bum-bags and ties (Msgm).
