About

V/19 So weit wie noch nie

Samuel Acebeys 5th collection was inspired by the expedition of Alexander von Humboldt to America and the botanical Illustrations that result from it. 

The idea of the inner connection between nature and culture forms the main idea of von Humboldts work. This idea also is the core of Acebeys collection, since he combines his cultural heritage in form and aesthetics with the beautiful naturalistic, botanical drawings and creates an abstract interpretation using embroidery techniques to create bold and chunky 3D blossoms using a variety of sequins and crystals in vibrant colors.

These fantasy pieces are combined with elaborated silhouettes and drape elements garnished with feminine organic details creating a universe of contrasts.

The materials used, combine natural fabrics like cotton and silk for garments with a delicate and feminine appearance. Velvets in different shades give a tailored and structured touch to the pieces. 

Earthy and neutrals hues are contrasted with surprisingly luminous jacquards turned into bold statement looks. From classic tones from dusty black, Bordeaux, dark grey to a bright mustard, midnight blue and shiny Silver.

To complete this play on textures and contrasts the organic embroidery gives the final touch to the garments creating an approachable opulence for a playful and unique identity.
