spring / summer 27
This collection begins in summer.
At first, I imagined d’mar starting with Fall/Winter. I have always been drawn to depth, layering, darker colours and clothes that feel close to the body. But the more I thought about it, the more
I understood that summer was the place to begin.In Peru, the year begins in summer. Light comes first. Heat comes first. Movement comes first.
Spring/Summer 27 begins from that same place: with the body before the layer, with movement before weight, with fabric touching skin.The collection explores the quipu, the line and the knot as systems of memory and relation. Not as ornament, but as construction.
The collection was born from research into the quipu, Peruvian textile memory, and nature as systems of continuity.
The quipu appears as a structure of memory: a way of recording through knots, sequences, and relationships.
The Amazon River appears as a living line, constantly shifting, eroding, and transforming.
Between the two, the line stops being only a visual gesture and becomes a way of constructing the garment: joining, tensioning, tracing, and giving meaning to the body through material.
Nothing appears in isolation.
Everything exists in relation.
