“See, it is like, for those who have been misplaced at sea, and these have been all little rafts ” So mentioned Christian Wijnants earlier than his present this night, explaining the inspiration behind the fragile crystal embroidery on an olive inexperienced bomber jacket. You needed to chortle: Wijnants is such a matter-of-reality man, it is all the time a pleasant shock to be reminded that there is a actual goofball streak hid by his delicate method. And you can say that this assortment completely encapsulated each his goofiness and his mildness. Riffing on the theme of “the jungle,” and imagining a lady misplaced therein, the designer caught to relaxed, decorous silhouettes. The fabrications, in the meantime, had been fairly eccentric. The key materials right here was a coated linen that had a rain-slicker sheen; Wijnants used the material rather a lot, in shorts and culottes and low-slung skirts, just like the one in beige that made up half of a sort of latter-day safari go well with. The latex within the assortment had the same iridescence however did not appear practically as wearable. Elsewhere, he was having enjoyable together with his gildings, from the confetti-like embroidery to the Swarovski crystals crocheted into latex and leather-based seems to be in bizarre, somewhat amoeba-like shapes. Those shapes reappeared within the standout objects right here: the chain-hyperlink crochet knits. Wijnants is a grasp of knit, an actual innovator, and that is the medium wherein he frees himself to take massive dangers. That derring-do paid off this season in clothes just like the ivory-coloured crocheted tank prime, which had a extremely distinctive aptitude. It was simply the correct amount of loopy.
