BOTEH SS20

  • Renáta Rákossy

The collection revolves around the duality of conventional and innovative, traditional and modern. The items are designed to reflect the combination of traditional and high tech, decorative and technical functionality. The traditional tailoring methods are merged with digital pattern cutting techniques, using sportswear features and reconstructing vintage elements into modern silhouettes. The collection features a camouflage-like print design, with oriental influences and reinterprets the paisley motif (boteh) trough a contemporary filter. Inspired by the Orientalist historical references of the 19th century, especially in textiles, this paisley-camo pattern evokes the perpetual design dialogue between European and the Eastern World.
