THE FUTURISM RENAISSANCE
TREND FOCUS
COPERNI X PUMA, GOOSSENS, LANVIN, OTTOLINGER X PUMA, AND RABANNE
Futurism in fashion, characterized by bold lines, unconventional materials, and a vision that transcends time, has become a key trend focus for contemporary designers including Ottolinger and Lanvin. The trend of futurism in fashion is not just about looking ahead; it’s about understanding the trajectory of design, materials, and craftsmanship, and recognizing how the past and future are intertwined.ACCESSORIES
Few accessories have achieved the iconic status of the Rabanne 1969 bag, and the Moon Bag iteration takes this legacy to the next level. Crafted from interlinked metallic discs, the Moon Bag is both a homage to the original 1969 design and a bold leap into the future. The reflective surface of the bag, reminiscent of lunar landscapes, captures the essence of futurism by embodying a sense of otherworldliness.
Similarly, the Goossens Lhassa Earrings embody how futurism in fashion can draw from the past to create something strikingly modern. Inspired by architectural forms and spiritual symbols of the East, these earrings are minimalist miniature sculptures.
FOOTWEAR
The Ottolinger x Puma Mostro Lo Lime Sneakers epitomize the essence of futurism by merging athletic performance with cutting-edge design. The collaboration presents a reimagined version of the classic Mostro silhouette, originally known for its sleek, aggressive lines and Velcro closures. With a lime green hue and forward-thinking silhouette, these statement sneakers redefine what is possible in the realm of sportswear. Puma have also teamed up with Parisian label Coperni to create a futuristic capsule collection. Inspired by the bold, chunky silhouettes of 1990s football boots, the 90SQR Sneakers are an example of how futurism in fashion can also embrace elements of the past. The all-black colorway emphasizes the sleek lines of the shoe, while the combination of different textures—ranging from matte to glossy—adds depth and dimension.
Lanvin, a house renowned for its timeless elegance, brings a futuristic edge to a classic silhouette with its metallic ballet flats. The choice of metallic leather, a material that catches and reflects light in a way that feels both elegant and industrial, transforms the traditional ballet flat into a piece that is both contemporary and timeless. These flats maintain the grace and simplicity that Lanvin is known for while introducing a modern, almost space-age aesthetic through the use of innovative materials. MORE STORIES
