Mudpie : Cleanse - Male & Female

Technology and simplicity combine in response to a compelling need for a fuss free, efficient way of life. The extreme formations of deconstructivist architecture and the visionary designs of retro futurism join for a juxtaposition of linear compositions and fluid lines. Softening the trend, the harmony of light reflects a sensual approach to eco issues and organic influences which are integral for a peaceful morality.

Fashion interpretation:

A sense of serenity is evoked with inspiration taken from the tranquil East, the fluidity of water and minimalist architecture. Essentially a muted palette, the base fuses subdued lilac, steel grey and a cool flesh tone, freshened with fragrant tarragon and a versatile deep midnight blue. A tonal palette ensures a utilitarian approach to graphics and prints with geometric shapes and linear designs reflecting the ethos of futuristic visions. Eastern aesthetics are embraced with wrap-around styles, voluminous trousers and subtle use of print and pattern. Spiritual practices and the sanctuary of nature enhance themes introducing a sense of fragility, interpreted with intricate and refined detailing. Sensual designs are complimented by soft, sweeping fabrics with dynamic flashes of colour breaking through an otherwise subdued palette.
