“FIND THE RED DOT”: time to explain

“Find the Red Dot” is a collection of clothes and accessories inspired by the atmosphere of a stormy night, a situation that favors existential reflection, and by an extract from a book by Carl Sagan, titled “Pale Blue Dot”, in which the astronomer and science writer reveals with a strong rationality the human condition and the one of our planet in the vastness of the universe.

“Our posturings, our imagined self-importance, the delusion that we have some privileged position in the Universe, are challenged by this point of pale light. Our planet is a lonely speck in the great enveloping cosmic dark. “

It is certainly not easy to translate such a message in a coat, a pair of shoes or a handbag. With this intention clothes and accessories have been made with decisive cuts and distorted volumes, inspired by lightnings, and colors that represent a stormy night: multicolor reflective inserts that stand out on a predominantly black.

You might be wondering how it is instead the story of the “Pale Blue Dot”!

The blue dot becomes a “Red Dot”: each piece is in fact characterized by a red detail that enhances its proportion in relation to the whole, stressing also that it is only one part of it, just like single cells that make an organism are, like we ourselves are compared to the planet on which we live, and just like this one is in relation to “the great enveloping cosmic dark.”

This red element, however, is not clearly stated, but is often hidden inside the garment, it can be a layer, or it’s so small that it may not even be noticed! All this is strongly desired, as well as a “surprise-element” exclusively concerning the shoes…

It’s up to you, then, to find the “Red Dot”.
