text Second season, shown in a private showroom in Paris.

Illustrated by four life-size colour pictures of some boys and a girl and by a black/ white 8mm video of the same young people, hanging around at home in an atmosphere that is reminiscent of Warhol’s ‘Factory’.

The collection was inspired by David Bowie in the late seventies-early eighties, by Antonioni’s “Blow Up” and by the film “Christiane F”.
The silhouette was again very close to the body. Classic materials were mixed with strong colour accents. Alternation of cheap and chic, classic and trash.
