Contaminations

N.43 of October 13th, 2016

Editorial by

Contamination is imperative to these times. Our world is complex, forcing us to continuously confront ever-changing realities: movements of races, cultures and styles create irreversible mutations. Avant-garde creativity mirrors these conditions. Fashion has boundless freedom. Seasonal colours and styles that used to reign have made way for exuberant mixes of patterns, shading and fabrics. Gingham and brocade, military jackets paired with tulle dresses, leather and fabric patchwork, and sequin embroidery everywhere…
Even Gucci’s double-breasted, herringbone jackets sparkled during their 2016/2017 Winter show. “Life is not simple, we are complex, why should fashion be?” is Miuccia Prada’s slogan. Antonio Marras has confessed that he shamelessly mixes everything, drawing from diverse sources of inspiration. Even design objects are touched by inconceivable contamination, one example being the collaboration between Kartell and Maori artist Nuku.

The Moodboarders is a glance into the design world, which, in all of its facets, captures the extraordinary even within the routine. It is a measure of the times. It is an antenna sensitive enough to pick-up on budding trends, emerging talents and neglected aesthetics. Instead of essays, we use brief tales to tune into the rhythm of our world. We travelled for a year without stopping, and seeing as the memory of this journey has not faded, we have chosen to edit a printed copy. We eliminated anything episodic, ephemeral or fading, maintaining a variety of articles that flow, without losing the element of surprise, the events caught taking place, and the creations having just bloomed.
