The collection is inspired on the organic shapes of the fungus and all their species, taking scales, textures, plies, overlays and peels that suffer transformations with the pass of time. These features arise from an investigation and can be found on the garments, addressed from different places.

A constant element in morphologic change, that has a mutable peel; the mixture of materials that creates one, transforms into layers and overlays of colours and textures.

In terms of textures, a painstaking blend of materials that belong to different worlds, Like voile and leather, satin and knitting, and on the other hand; on the surface, the shine, opacity and transparency.

The morphologic structure of the fungus is transported into the collection due to a study of the round and orbed from resources such as folds and their trail above the body, having as a standard natural human body shapes accompanying them with textiles.

With the fungus, a fur of recycling is generated, a surface change as result of a structure
modification that leads me to continue with a textile exploration to add value to garments that embodies sensitivity in relation of costumer and pledge.

In each one of the complete garments you can find the subtlety that shapes up a light and clear collection that relates to the fragility of the fungal skin and to its wide and flexible silhouette.

The coexistence of different materials with one kind of composition and a unique structure, with the challenge of mixing into one thing that creates a whole collection tied to a concept.
