RTW Dry/Wet’23
Collection Title: Pink Lounge
“People In a hallway so dimly lit it hurts.
It speaks of religion, sexuality, and politics in the lives of contemporary people and about the place of God.
People speaking in excited voices, like in an airport, swaying away into another existence, more of what they had planned to buy for a better life.”
The Pink Lounge collection is characterized by a purist ethos acting as the foundation for the collection, the binding subject of research, Pink Lounge – from where the collection derived its name, is home to a vivacious and fierce group of unruly who face all odds with their freedom at stake. It is inspired by the true events of a destination, welcoming originality. Various elements, from the stages of Maxivive’s past 15 years were pinned to the mood board – expressive colours on a test of purity, binding silhouette, and elevated commercially viable garment studies were generally infused.
As a ready-to-wear collection, expressive and repetitive techniques were employed to infuse inspiration into the clothing – marrying contrast and harmony while exploring the local seasons of Wet and Dry – all the while ensuring the functionality of the garments within these seasons.
