In just a few decades, we have become multiple, shape-shifting entities, owning different IDENTITIES which are constantly changing and will probably “outlive” us! We no longer have one face, but many faces and different identities that we wear like so many masks, depending

on the time and place.

photos, emails, cv, google searches, social networks... every second, 29,000 giga-octets of information are

published around the globe. information that is traced, analyzed, evaluated and whose “digital imprint” comes to define our online identities. Our themes for summer 2015 thus explore the many facets of our identities and

invite us to ask questions about how we can cultivate our singularity at a time of replicas and perfect copies.

funnY trip

A no-complex, free-style extravaganza invoking dreams or hallucinations, the imagery of fairytales and digital legends,

incongruous mixes and poetry in its digital version... enhanced reality offers fabulous new territories for

individuals’ creative expression!

A wild & crazy world painted in the rainbow hues of a multicolor range associating - with grace and disorder - milky and tangy pastels, pale neutrals, chocolate brown,

Zesty orange and vibrant indigo... in a glorious cacophony!

essences

essences encourages us to come back to a form of simplicity - simultaneously sensitive and emotional. An escapade to northern europe to satisfy our quest for

natural and industrial streamlining and purity, a desire to be rooted in ancient, even sacred lands... or to get away from it all in the stillness of scandinavian mists. All in the

aim of rediscovering our true selves.

COLD SUMMER

FLEMISH MODERN

WELLNESS INDUS

the alliance of memory and modernity results in a fresh, calm range: a chromatic time-out mingling lightness with

depth, tinted whites, mirror-like aspects and a suite

of moist green tones.

trAnsmissiOns

A thought-process about what unites us, of the universal ties common to all of humanity and the fundamental

and essential questions we all can agree on. A return to the cradles of humanity, their various cultures and the

necessity of preserving these differences - that also are what make us truly singular!

An easy-to-live color range is full and frank, associating fresh summery tones, luminous and folkloric pigment

brights with obvious neutrals.

mAGnificAt

expressing the occult side of our identities in a lyrical and theatrical mode, much as 19th-century romantics.

A dialogue between the profane and the secret, a joining of the occult and the mysterious... An interrogation of our beliefs allowing us to imagine new, more personal sets of

rituals and incantations.

MEDIUM

GRANDIOSE

BLOOM BANG

Between pale moonlight and volcanic explosions, the range provokes contradictory sensations: its intensely

deep heart is muted by misty or melancholy blue, before languishing with Antique ivory... and then exploding at both ends with brilliant peacock and three violent,

magnetic red tints.
