The Red & Black collection was a significant concept for Fall/Winter 2018. The combination of these two colors is renowned for inspiring creativity and passion, as evident in the works of artists such as Mark Rothko and Barbara Kruger. It draws on historical and cultural references, including Russian constructivism, various revolutions, and Talking Heads' album "Remain in Light." The graphics for the collection were hand-drawn using a nib pen, brush, and marker.
