Geometric structures in the tradition of expressionist artists like Joris Kuiper oscillate with delicate magnolia blossoms and python patterns, sleek lines with opulent embroidery; tender nude nuances clash with gaudy orange, cold petrol with warm berries, airy organza with smooth cashmere.
Following the tradition of classic couture, the collection reflects a wide range of crafting techniques: the magnolias are flower studies drawn by a Berlin-based artist, the knit is handwoven in Europe, the metal embroidery is done in Indian workshops.
The collection is a continuous derivative of Tomaszewski’s artistic and qualitative aspirations and an ode to an eccentric, female beauty who is ‘mise en scène’ in all her facets through the interaction of antipodes.
