After the recent period of forced stasis, Designers have picked up on the signs, moving from intention to action and sounding out eye-catching trends to get people exploring and taking risks again, rediscovering a sense of belonging and breathing fresh air with equally care-free garments. The leitmotiv can be traced in the sculptural forms, subject to various interpretations, from botanicals to fantasy, up to ‘homemade’ design.
