Balance-Exploring Fall Clothing

HELIOT EMIL's Unstable Equilibrium Capsule Prepares for FW21

— March 9, 2021 — Fashion
HELIOT EMIL introduces the new Unstable Equilibrium collection designed for the FW21 season. The capsule explores balance, specifically asymmetry and the notion of imbalance. The Copenhagen fashion brand uses different materials to experiment with balance itself.

The color palette is relatively dark and has some lighter neutrals that join the range including gray, stone, and light cream. To translate the imbalance, silhouettes are detailed with asymmetrical cuts, slim cuts, textural fabrics including wool, leather, and nylon. The notable piece that joins the seasonal capsule is the black blazer with overlaid materials and a cut-out vest. The layering design covers up the right side of the structure, whilst exposing the left side. The exposed arm indicates the imbalance and asymmetric silhouette using layers.
