From a contemporary perspective, ERNESTO NARANJO revisits the theatricality and glamour of the Ziegfeld Girls, translating it into a refined and conceptual aesthetic. The silhouettes flow between the dreamlike and the sculptural, evoking the creative freedom of Carrington and the experimental materiality of Benglis. The collection plays with unexpected volumes, dynamic textures, and a color palette that oscillates between the ethereal and the earthly. It seeks to create a tension between the familiar and everyday, and the fantastic and unreal.
The collection materializes through unexpected combinations of materials, colors, and fabrics, creating a collage of emotions and textures. Irony, surprise, and visual appeal are at the heart of the collection.
In a dialogue between past and present, the proposal explores minimalism as a language of expression and process-based art as a manifesto of transformation. Each piece is conceived as a work in constant evolution, reflecting the essence of the artists who defied established norms.
