Didu Spring/Summer '22 Paris Fashionweek

 


 







Didu's Spring/Summer '22 collection called "The Last Dance of Life" is inspired by Georgia O'Keeffe's color palette and the Edvard Munich painting called "The Dance of life" and the mess we've made of our planet. Didu presented the new collection as part of the official Paris Fashionweek calendar at Palais de Tokyo, named as one of the must-see's of the season. Du designs around the thought that the skin is a textile as well, draping, deconstructing and reconstructing layers over the body and blending into it. Making a wink to all the extreme wheather lately with lots of pieces made out of swimwear material. As Du says: “It’s about the idea that we created this situation ourselves, so we have to eat the consequences. So if you’re wearing a formal look and you get soaked from the rain of a hurricane that’s just torn down your house, you can dry fast”. 
The looks are chic, playful, using patterns seen as tie-and-dye and somehow also hawaiian vibe. There are cut-out in unpredictable places, sheer blouses, drapings around the middle, cut-out denim placed together with metal rings, string tops combined with mules or sandals and many, many bright colors. It all looked something in between easy chic and comfy sporty.
We loved all the tops and swimwear pieces, could imagine it wearing it with an oversized blazer or just a basic trenchcoat. Also the denim trousers with boxy knees (including little pockets with zippers) and cut outs at the legs were one of the outstanding pieces. As said before....open your heart for new upcoming brands.
