Flora Miranda & Gyunel Presentation PFW SS2018

Two designers held a presentation for their latest collection Spring/summer 2018. Flora Miranda announces her Couture collection (Pneuma) on Monday, 22 January 2018 and Gyunel on Wednesday 24 January 2018. 

Flora Miranda is a talented designer from Autria. Her collection explores the interspace and show the active function of emptiness. She prepares her collection for about one year, from choosing the material, express the idea, choreography and the movement for the models.  Far from being a kind of no-man island that would imply neutralization or compromise, emptiness makes possible the process of interiorization and transformation through which each thing actualizes its sameness and otherness and, in so doing, attains totality.

For her, the garment is what lies between the body and the world. The invisible, the air around the body is the space of possibilities for the garment – up to the nearest tangible element.

Through her "Pneuma" collection, Flora Miranda makes this invisible matter, the ambient space, wearable on the human body. The dresses are built in meticulous manual craft and several collections made by the feather (the most fragile material). Bodies of fine reflective plastic particles, high precision injected silicone shapes, 3d woven metallic vaporized film and lightweight colour spectrums composed from feathers are set in motion. The shapes of the human body are abstracted and become one with the fleeting, sculptural clothes.

Belgian famous choreographer, Arco Renz, collaborate with Flora Miranda to explore these features by the explicitly breathing bodies of ten dancers. The presentation is highlighted with a light design by Philippe Rahm Architects: the performance took place inside of two separate rooms, using hue variation to reflect the contrast between a winter and summer atmosphere.

Using warm and cold lighting, two distinct atmospheres create the physical setting of fashion, in the sense of an autumn-winter and spring-summer collection. Flora Miranda's mission is to challenge the obsolete notions of haute couture, and for some years now has been exploring physical boundary experiences that take place in real and virtual spaces. She sees the body as pure information thought that makes it possible to send the body "like an e-mail". By this novel, techniques are found and detached from design tradition or history. Flora spent her formative years growing up in the circle of a family of artists and musicians where she developed her skills as a painter. After finishing her master’s degree at the Royal Academy of Fine Artsin Antwerp, she executed projects for Iris Van Herpen.
