I am fascinated by architectural structures just as much as I am by natural forms and their relations. They both prompt simplicity as complexity resolves. This reductionist spirit is what drives me at the moment in a quest for clarification, for lines that are at once pure and vibrating with their origins in nature and their architectural interpretations.  

The creative path, this season, started from the reverie of my ex peditions back in an urban context, envisioning nature through reflections of architecture, offsetting irregularity and vitality with symmetry and rhythm.  

From this merging of the organic and the inorganic a new embodiment of the Del Core woman occurs. She keeps a vertical slant while blooming with sculptural flaps, like a delicate blossom with a steely stance. Standing tall on high heels or connecting to the ground with flats, she explores an urban angle to the very idea of mutant glamour. The tailoring she dons is strong-shouldered, elongated and lean, verticality emphasized by subtle pinstripes.  

Her satin coats have precise sharp volumes and are emblazoned with sliced, deconstructed architectural images of flowers. Asymmetric draping cascades around her body, highlighting movement, while lingerie-inspired camisoles and floor-sweeping cardigans have a languid lightness. Needle-like sequins swarm on jackets and dresses with protruding hips, creating subtle textures. Hard as architectural shells, resin bustiers made with a 3D printer represent the final merging of the man-made and the nature-made, united into a syncretic vision.

The color palette—an interplay of pale tones of yellow, mauve, gray, and deep notes of red and black—gives chromatic tangibility to this urban fantasy, at once delicate and intricate. Leather flowers coil around the neck or bloom on the straps of padded bags. Sculptural earrings and graphically designed handbags are architectures for the body.

Clothing as a tool to change appearance, but also mindset: this is the ethos that, once more, I am cueing.
