`CODONA ́

Autumn/Winter

2011/12

this time the strting point + inspiration of the collection originates from Don Cherry’s album ‘Codona’ recorded with fellow musicians Collin Walcott and Nana Vasconcelos. Here, band members used the first two letters of their names to create the album title.

for this collection, the Japanese words Otona (Adult) and Codomo (Child) are combined to create the word ‘Codona.’ The Codona collection refers to the adult who retains the curiosity, the openess and the playfulness of a child without hte prejudice learnt in later life. the collection is variable and playful but mature at the same time. It shows variations of inside out and upside down, playing with forms and colors while leaving the wearer freedom to experiment.
