Boramy Viguier Digital Paris Mens Fashion Week

 

A pagan congregation of supreme spiritual beings. Prophets on a quest for a better mind set. Helped by an enigmatic strength and rigidity, humans with fantastic powers. I don’t like to ignore reality. But I want to reinvent an emergency escape Universe of my own. I wanted to create for myself, wonderful characters, to aspire to. Imagining them to be immensely wise with a sacred value : peaceful yet intimidating crusaders. I imagine ghost spirits, all dressed up, attending aceremony. Clerical looks with a variety of familiar menswear fabrics, light summer wool, checks, classic patterned knits… Fused with romantic, rural and bucolic flower prints, fantasy sci-fi crocodile vinyl, divinatory shiny materials. Creating a complex and paradoxical character that would need the help of a squire to dress up and be ready to brave a spiritual journey.

I found our society lacking in spirituality. Local rituals, paganism, ancestral custom are relevant answers to the Religion of maximalism and publicity that dominates our way of living. I have recently learned that paganism is from the Latin “pagus” for “outside civilization”. Imagination and
mind expansion are the only way to escape it.
