Oscar emerged as the latest collection of Wilde Carlota Barrera. The designer imagined an entire story around the author, one that came out not only through clothing but also through a travel diary which was with collection. It had a Dorian Gray-Susk hero at the center that took us on a immersive trip; By night, he exited in a crisp shirt and a clearly sewn tuxido-an ancient elegance that slowly faded, such as roll-up sleeves and loose collar by hours. “It’s about the journey of clothes, how they change, as he does overnight,” Barrera explained. In this metamorphosis, there was a meditation on manhood, femininity and inexperienced path of time.
At their core, the pieces reflected how the clothes develop with us. “I want to make collections with my own life – because life, finally, appears through the smallest gestures,” Bairera shared. It is a concept that the brand is searching for many seasons. At first glance, the clothes appear torn or distressed, but a closely detected almost obsessive accuracy in their construction. “This is the fickle, goon aspect of all,” he said. “It may seem that everything is different, but every detail is carefully considered.”
The duality lies in the heart of Barrera’s vision, the balance of knowing the rules of sewing and breaking them. “There is a phrase that catches the essence of the collection,” he said. “Before the onset of great talent, there should be chaos.” “And in fact, there was nothing that felt it seemed: unexpected double collar, Sashe who turned into belts, fabricated with whale motifs on them, shirts on the verge of slipping, and the jacket was worn in and out to get out.
