FUKA - FW22 Flottement & Éclosion "The Waterlilies, Bloom and Judychicago prints incorporate the notion of poetry as an influencing factor between abstraction, biomorphism, dreaminess and realism. From floating to blooming, from blooming to the fulmination of colors. Inspired by Monet's work, the Water Lilies print, in tencel or jersey, suggests the colors of the humid forest, of the undergrowth with the hues of ferns warmed by the falling sun. It awakens the big ribbed velvets, fluffy virgin wools and twill wool or silk with herbaceous tones between wormwood and lichen and responds to the different tones of smoked Callas. The flexible, informal forms with defined lines flirt between unisex and eroticism. The micro confronts the macro for a silhouette with the suggestion of the body, composable. The second skins with extra large collars, the size of the top pieces and certain volumes support the notion of comfort and freedom. "It is by believing in roses that we make them bloom." The Bloom pattern in shades of twilight blues, awakens the denim canvas in ecru organic cotton, a reference to the raw and imperfect canvas of the painter in preparation. The virgin wools or cashmere raw brown. Camel or Lavender and Rosy Kirty soften the whole and warm up with soft knits in baby alpaca, wool and organic cotton in shades of pine green or winter sky. Fulmination refers to Elisa Pône's Blurry shades and Judy Chicago's Atmospheres series, a pioneer in feminist art. The brush strokes, like explosions of color, exaggerate the pleated and ample forms on fluid silk canvases or jerseys with a 70's look. It is in the studio and the forest dear to the heart of the artist Jean Guillaume Mathiaut that the fall-winter collection has been put in situation. A coherence and a complementarity to my work, I was overwhelmed with emotions at the sight of his works, the poetry and the great sensitivity which emerges from it."
