“Metal Meets Nature: Harmonizing the Elements showcases a collection of unisex garments inspired by the intersection and contrast between architecture and nature. Drawing inspiration from the grandeur and precision of constructions as a cornerstone, the collection's design elements translate into garments that blend geometric shapes and lines. Inspired by brutalism and modern styles, the pieces embody strength, purpose and boldness through the ordered textures and unusual shapes of the fabric surfaces. The cuts and drapes of the garments intertwine like the contrasting organic textures of nature and modern architecture, bridging the gap between the city and the natural world. The silhouettes in this collection accentuate the sharpness of the edges and structure of the garments, adding dimension to the shapes. The collection is a testament to the interconnectedness of human ingenuity and the majestic beauty of nature, allowing the viewer to appreciate the harmonious fusion of every seam and curve. Creating an avant-garde and practical ready-to-wear collection for all ages.”
