Fashion brand ANNAKIKI presented their Spring Summer 2023 Collection with a show held on September 25th during the recently finished Milano Fashion Week. For the Dimension Breaker collection, designer AnnaYang was inspired by fractal art in British Director Nic Stacey’s documentary, “The Secret Life of Chaos,” which explains the theory of chaos and the study of chaotic dynamic systems behavior. The collection also features special items embellished with Swarovski® crystals, to lighten up some pieces. For the season, Annakiki collaborated with footwear brand SCRY on a shoe bringing a touch of surrealism and futurism.
SPRING SUMMER 2023 COLLECTION
When modern science replaced religion as a new faith, the mystery of our nature was revealed, and his sacred order was inevitably dissembled. Essentially fractal art is designed to create a visual illusion in the space, throughout the disintegration and the reconstruction of that same space and its structure: a little change is constantly amplified from simple rules, and at the end, with a constant repetition on a little scale, an extraordinarily magnificent model is achieved. Many things in nature follow this scheme and this simple equivalence with auto-feed nature for me is surprising. – AnnaYang
An example of fractal art is the 3D wave sleeve that this season has been rebranded withnew applications.The signature symbol of the brand, known as a “Walking soft sculpture” is conceived to obtain a chaotic and organized aesthetic for a fractal style.Metallic chains on a halter dress were hand-stitched to reinterpret a “fractal motif,” emphasizing the unique 3-D details. A cut-waist dress was embroidered digitally for a psychedelic effect, resembling entering a cosmic vortex. – from Annakiki
ANNAKIKI continued down its futuristic path into the digital world by creating fivenew NFT looks characterized by silver irregularly shaped mechs, with a visually striking effect, injecting strong stylistic tension into virtual time and space. The dresses, interpreted by digital people, are enlarged and highlighted with the brand’s iconic four-mangoes as a mark of identity, and the skirts are either in three-dimensional squares or waves, continuing the brand’s creative thinking of three-dimensional tailoring. – from Annakiki
