AW21 INFERNO builds on SS21 CLIMAX’s unpacking of how uncertain times can lead us to unite forces and reach our pinnacle.
That feeling of bliss, wholeness, and fulfillment is productive and inspiring: a spark that turns into a fire we cannot control.
Fire is complex and ambiguous. It can be like emotions or spiritual connections that can overwhelm or be overwhelmed. It can bring heat, comfort, arousal, and transformation all the while being destructive and deadly.
So, this collection feeds off this ambiguity. It is inspired by Antonio Francisco Lisboa, brazilian master of baroque sculptures. Known as Aleijadinho (the little cripple) due to an all-consuming leprosy diagnosis, Lisboa was an outcast, seen as cursed by God.
But despite his physical and social suffering, he continued to celebrate God’s divinity and sainthood by sculpting with a chisel and hammer tied to his fingerless hands till the end of his life.
He was driven by a passion, a fire that kept going and, even under the direst circumstances, never went out. This fire transformed him and his art.
Aleijadinho’s embracing of his fire is symbolic of defiance; his legacy is a living and ceaseless act of resistance. Just like INFERNO.
