Long coat made of cotton gabardine with a shawl lapel and exaggerated volume in the sleeves. Heavy draping on the inner sides and back give the impression of wearing a cape. The sleeves are pinched on the outer sides and also horizontally pinched above the pockets. The coat is fully lined with a back vent and the front features a button fastening with two double-welt pockets.
With the A/W 2012 collection, Digitaria seeks the actual experience behind objects that are being exhibited. It describes an environment where the impossibility of bringing back the past makes its loss even stronger and creates a permanent slippage between memory and the lack of it. Thus, Digitaria indicates a zone where the usual polar distinctions collapse. Both Lethe and Mnemosyne superimpose the immateriality of images onto the materiality of objects and shapes that remain uncovered.
