Experimental film inspiration is the driving force of Namacheko's Spring/Summer 2020 collection which debuted earlier this week. The entire capsule is centered around fostering a visually stimulating connection through powerful kaleidoscoping patterns, daring use of material, and a playful approach to form that takes little consideration of pre-established boundaries.
Namacheko's experimental film inspiration is namely 'Koyaanisqatsi' — an iconic 1982 movie which was directed by Godfrey Reggio. The plot is composed of a series of visual montages and, as a result, a fashion reinterpretation of the cinematic artifact can work spectacularly.
The Spring/Summer 2020 collection features "loud pops of color" to further captivate the attention of attendees, while the silhouettes vary in styling aesthetic — some are left boxy and others have been carefully tailored.
