For this Summer/Fall 2016 Les Biches introduces their latest collection, ‘Coetum’; the Latin word for an assemblage of objects, mysteriously referring to local rituals. Coetum can be a string, a rope and a piece of cable, a fishing buoy and a hook, some coloured discs and a motherboard and a page ripped out of a book. All play a part in Les Biches new collection.
Think of 80’s Japanese Fashion – and how names like Yohji Yamamoto, Kawakubo, Issey Miyaki and Kenzo previewed Japanese style to the world. Minimalist looks, deconstructed sequence, a play on dark and light, the use of little trinkets, as well as the diversity of details emphasized by the monotone is how Les Biches interpret their latest collection. They continue their aesthetic from previous collections, by playing with transparent materials, silky viscose, and oversized volumes. Yet, they managed to elevate it to a whole new level, making it their most elaborate and most awaited collection to date. They also play with words as their Miranda print – using the excerpt from the short story “ is Person” from the book “No one belongs here more than you” by Miranda July.
