Dressing on the sale doesn’t mean having to make do with clothes that are uninteresting or even mediocre. When there is an extensive choice, only a cursory glance, and items characterised by a certain formal complexity, it is inevitable that you could overlook the wearability, as well as the possible and many combinations that transform them.

A multi-brand store can become distracting and require an effort to envisage items that have little similarity. How to combine a t-shirt? And that skirt or those pants, what can I wear with them? These are all typical and recurring questions.

But the flexibility offered by an eye that is trained to mix colours and volumes could prove an invaluable help in building up your personal style, and without any exaggeration, your totally unique style.

One only has to think of certain horrific combinations in collections that were circulating during the winter months, gaining unconditional success, like the one from Comme des Garçons, for example?

So then, if you on the other hand feel the need for harmony even in the asymmetrical and unconventional proportions of a so-called radical fashion design, follow the suggestions worn and put together by our expert tutor Sari! Trying out, combining, putting together and understanding what works for us is just a question of practise!

Pants Pleats Please

The title chosen for the Pleats Please winter collection is a tribute to the work of the most prominent Mexican architect, Luis Barragàn.

Abstract shapes and lively multicoloured designs on bags, trousers, dresses and sweaters strongly recall that lush and surreal Mexico interpreted by the architecture of the master from Jalisco. The vast wall surfaces painted with bright colors, often crossed by unexpected cracks that offer glimpses of fountains of crystal clear water, are echoed by Issey Miyake’s most famous pleats.

The designer has always personally designed Pleats Please, a range which has always been the subject of his most joyous fantasies. Every season it is devolped by following a guiding theme. If, in the past, the most representative paintings of the Italian Renaissance embraced the entire silhouette in the form of dresses and t-shirts, now the inspiration is clearly Barragàn’s Mexico.

The deep pink of flourishing tropical bougainvillea, the yellow gold of the earth and the bright local houses, or the crisp blue of the cloudless sky and the sparkling blue of the clear waters, dissolve in the volumes of clothing and accessories in high-tech textiles.

Detail T-shirt Pleats Please

In fact, each garment is initially cut and sewn on flat fabric, it is only later, thanks to the extremely advanced techniques that have been patented by the well-known Japanese Maison, that it undergoes the pleating process. In addition to allowing extreme volumetric plasticity, this unique pleating remains intact over time. It is so practical that it can be machine washed and transported anywhere, as it always keeps its shape.
