02 — The story
01
Editorial concept: strength and fragility
Metamorfosis is conceived as a material dialogue inspired by the craft traditions of porcelain and leather. Metallic feline instinct meets the stillness and porosity of the flower, forming pieces that celebrate self-knowledge, diversity and sensitivity beyond gender labels.
02
Umbral Orgánico · Statement body piece
Two bronze jaguars with a satin 24K gold finish descend along the collarbones and guard a central orchid modelled in matte white biscuit porcelain. Its surreal, maximal scale turns the body into a threshold between instinct, sculpture and botanical delicacy.
03
Protected Territory · Sculptural mini bags
Structured matte and crocodile-textured leathers frame three-dimensional medallions in which the panther and the orchid become protective hardware. Strength surrounds the ephemeral, transforming each bag into a portable sculptural territory.
04
Fragments of Metamorphosis · Jewellery
Open rings join jaguar claws with individual porcelain petals. Asymmetric earrings place a Colombian monarch butterfly in silver filigree opposite an orchid bud, while essential necklaces carry micro-sculptures of feline and flora through casting and enamelling techniques.
05
El Vínculo Sutil · Apparel capsule
Contemporary shirts weave jaguar camouflage with orchids and butterflies through silk print and embroidery. The capsule hoodie brings two male jaguars together in a serene profile; a three-dimensional monarch emerges from the negative space between them as a symbol of masculine sensitivity, inclusion and affection without labels.
06
Art direction in chiaroscuro
High-contrast editorial light reveals the texture of skin, the cold reflection of metal, the grain of leather and the matte porosity of porcelain. The image system places every object between fashion campaign and contemporary still life.
