Each colour is subtly connected to a web of experiences and associations. We recall a scene of a classic mahogany table, with a clock ticking quietly in the background; time is slow and ample when there are shades of dark brown, a slight tinge of wittiness and adventurous from scarlet red that paints the sky into a glorious day; it’s not harsh, just independent, or creamy beige that suspends into a mellow flow, offering space to the tentative associations. When each of them is split by a prism to create an explosion of colours, they evoke an unusual atmosphere, which is the case for Longchamp's Spring/Summer ’20 collection. The range radiates mesmerising effects against the azure desert sky from the skulk in the early dawn to the waxing crescent moon at dusk.
Juxtaposed with flashes of inspiration from Judy Chicago, whose work history involves large appliquéd, pyrotechnics, and psychedelia colliding with purpose and power, she counteracted the male-dominated ’60s art scene at the time, while blazing a trail within the Feminist Art movement of the 1970s. The collection plays out an ongoing dialogue of women and art as it takes you on a psychedelic journey and spring’s florid wonderment.
