Harmony Focus AW 25-26: Multiple Contrasts The - Automne-Hiver 25-26
Autumn-Winter 25-26 is a season of contrasts. Palettes generated by the color range explore the coexistence of opposites. Chromatic clashes are updated in highly sophisticated versions. Colorful polar extremes – between the real and the unreal, comfort and dynamism – open the door to versatile uses.
Black and white
The classic black-and-white contrast perfectly complements the color range. This season it’s newly reimagined, heightened by plays on texture and shine.
This season, two-tone geometrics are shifting and intense, revealing graphic expressions that revisit abstraction. Black and white motifs look unpredictable, lively and sometimes elusive, transforming classic polka-dot and zebra prints.
Fabrics are always of the highest quality, including twill grounds, vibrant micro-jacquards lace or embroideries, enhancing the abstract vibrations and elevating the radical choice of black and white.
Punctuated Chiaroscuro
Black and white engages in a dialogue with color, or is replayed in colorful versions, for a fresh new take on chiaroscuro.
Dark tones cover pale hues in rhythmic allovers that mimic a textured effect.
The patinas and plays on dyes marking this season’s leathers and shearlings embrace chiaroscuro effects.
Contrasts are worked in a sophisticated, time-worn spirit with irregular chromatic finishes that enliven surfaces. Colored wax applications and graduated rubbed effects reveal grains and accentuate reliefs.
The soft, smooth lambskins destined for ready-to-wear are blackened to simulate a patina treatment more usually reserved for leather goods.
Warm/Cold Contrasts
Vivid warm/cold color contrasts, sometimes intensified by a touch of white, are sprinkled with specks of color and embellished with unexpected sparkle.
Warm-cold contrasts are subtly expressed in wool yarns from multicolored flocks, or multi-strand thrown-yarns feature a subtle working of vivid contrasts.
