Fitting @ Martin Lamothe

Inspired by a modern vision of Africa, with the help of the vision of Keith Haring , Elena Martin on Monday introduced its new spring collection of Martin Lamothe . The designer spent time in North Africa, where he was near the Berber culture. "The more arid environment of the society, the more vibrant the colors of culture and art of the people living there," explains the designer. "This was the starting point for the palette, inspired by the Berber art, with its fluorescent colors." This influence is palpable in the treatment of textiles, as in this short dress, adapting techniques of tapestry of nomadic cultures carrying it in style. Or the patchwork of silk, all hand-stitched. "North Africa is full color," he adds.



Elena Martin continues the tradition of collaboration between artisan, designer and artist with these beautiful, detailed sculptures, which serve as three-dimensional prints, the work of artist Laura Lauseras (Lusesita). A nod to the ceramics used by African people as an offering to the gods. The part of the collection that I like are the black and white clothes. The contrast negative / positive patterns built in, all done by hand. The prints are inspired by the villages and ornamental use of black and white residents. Silk dresses are, once again, my favorite pieces. In this lively and elegant collection, art, culture and color go hand in hand, along with a sophisticated and original pattern. Clothes that make us dream tinkling with land that may not be so far away.
