Entitled 'Prism,' the Fall 2018 Ready-to-Wear collection by Anrealage mixes seemingly simple outerwear designs that pop up as ethereal holographic coats in dark lit spaces. Embracing the philosophy that what one perceives has the potentiality to be wrong, in conjunction with the scientific phenomenon of the relationship between light and prisms, Anrealage's collection contributes to a definite trajectory in high fashion. That is, a strive for experimental materials that engage the audience and motivate surreal questions.
The holographic coats appear ordinary in a well-lit environment. Their see-through fabric highlights the prismatic patterns underneath. However, once darkness settles in, the dreamy alien aesthetic of the material really stands out. Reminiscent of Maison Margiela's phone-encouraging holographic Fall 2018 couture, the Anrealage Fall 2018 Ready-to-Wear builds bridges between state-dependent perception with fashion-forward holographic coats.
