The Uncanny. 1

The essence of the “uncanny valley,” exploring visual perception that oscillates between the real and the unreal, the known and the unknown. An intriguing mix of architectural elements and structured pattern-making defines the garments, which blend the rigidity of faux leather with unusual geometric shapes, evoking futuristic architecture and uncanny oddities. Visual and tactile contrasts emerge through clean lines and hard textures, using innovative materials such as brass. Inspired by Sicilian puppet opera, the capsule connects past and present, ancient and modern, integrating it not only as a decorative element, but as a fundamental part of structured pattern-making.
