for autumn/winter 10-11, smalto’s young creative director youn chong bak invites us on a sensory journey in the asian steppes and presents a collection with a radical bias inspired by traditional ancestral treasures …
the anchor of the collection lies in the natural elements, far from any urbanity and architecture … youn chong bak was also inspired by mongolian history and heritage through details found in typical clothing … she tried to transcribe the conquering spirit, rituals and festive warmth that emerge from this culture …
true to the smalto man, the journey exudes an air of mystery … the infinity of the landscape deepening the urge to devour the space … the near and distant ravel in the same immediate perception …this magnetic experience, where solitude is essential, invites self-reflection … an atmosphere favourable with the shamanic spirits reigns … appeasement is at the end of the journey …
cold and refined colours (winter whites, sophisticated and neutral greys, beige) with touches of green and bordeaux for the casual side, palette of blacks and false blacks for the evening; some cognac and ochre touches for the accessories …
raw materials counterbalanced by sensations of softness and opulence, nobility and luxury all in suppleness …
details : braided leather scarves, pin ties, fur-lined suede hoods, metal rivets …
youn chong bak really brings a breath of fresh air to the house of smalto !
