Uma Wang presents the fall winter 2023 collection in Paris.
Collection Notes
Reduction: a quest for matters that matter.
avoiding fuss, from shredding the unnecessary.
The essence that’s reached doing away with what does not stand the test of time, be it centuries, or years.
Time that scribbles, dries, washes, consumes and ultimately molds surfaces and lines.
What remains in the outline, and what fills it.
Verticality. Roundness.
Silhouettes, and how they react to light.
Volumes that fold, bend, stand.
Opacity and shine.
Shaggy, washed, felted wool.
Velvet that absorbs color to quietly glisten.
A plastified coating.
The quest for the essence caught in the process, halfway through, the toile still visible
Opulence that’s hidden, like frescoes inside a grotto.
By Angelo Flaccavento
