NEHER FW21 swinging between reflections of the past, the surrealism of the present, and visions of the future. The collection is a metaphysical essay inspired by “The Song of Love” painted by the surrealist precursor de Chirico. Another inconspicuous muse came from two extraordinary women of the past: Elisabetta Gonzaga, a Renaissance noblewoman, salonnière of Urbino known for her elegance, ardent advocate of the most creative minds of the time, and Emilie Louise Flöge, an Austrian couturier, avant-garde businesswoman, and life companion of Gustav Klimt. “Beyond realism” is held throughout the whole collection with surprising coats and blazers, unexpected materials, prints, or colour selection, and layering creating a range of options and themes for the mored yet sophisticated woman. All the exuberant pieces flawlessly combine with essential pieces such as classic trench coats, tailored jackets, and pants for everyday use. |
