Inspired by Fritz Lang’s Metropolis, this collection explores the tension between humanity and mechanisation through the contrasting figures of the human and robot Maria.

The designs bring together structure and looseness, control and freedom, reflecting the opposing approaches to the female body found in post-war fashion. Through draping, deconstructed tailoring and varied-scale check fabrics, the collection reinterprets these contrasts into experimental silhouettes that explore the relationship between the body, clothing and structure.
