THE GLASS AGE: Colours Spring/Summer 2028

Glass is a hybrid known for fragility while hiding its solidity and can be considered a liquid because of its fluid nature. These contradictory qualities make it one of the most magical and versatile materials of all time. Hovering between two states of matter, it is an amorphous solid, which also perfectly describes the current state of fashion which is amorphous; a period without clearly defined shapes, allowing various silhouettes to co-exist in one collection, on one body. Therefore, fascinating as a cultural inspiration and a reflection of our times, glass is the material of the moment in both fashion and design, set to influence the years to come with a multitude of colour harmonies, textiles, garments and forms.
