Latest Collection

{SPACE TOUCH EMOTION} AW2012/13

VIGINLO 's collection is entitled SPACE TOUCH EMOTION AW2012/13. The design concept of the collection is based on the relationship of space, touch and emotion through human communication.

The SPATIAL CONCEPT developed in the two dimensional pattern cutting interacts with the three dimensional through the contours of the body figures. Lines, surfaces, space and body interact with each other and create different levels of interstitial space between body and garment as a second skin of our body through the pattern cutting. It creates barriers and boundaries between the outside world and us.

The TOUCHING CONCEPT tends to explore the different fabric materials with combining them for one garment and presents the different touching frequency we could accept from the outside world.

The EMOTIONAL CONCEPT translates to the color gradation of the collection and presents the variation of human emotion.

These three parts are intimately connected and thus share a very close relationship with each other. The development of one part would influence the other two parts significantly.
