Arsutoria: "Galaxy" Bag Trend SS17

Cosmic collection, which enhances the eclecticism of the graphic prints. Futuristic scenario, shown in a mirrored blue sea that assaults the senses. Sound and vision combine to make the audience feel like they are inside the Matrix. The ambiance is sophisticated and starry-like, light and lunar, futuristic and innovative. Galaxy is electronic and technological and takes on a romantic and graceful mood, light and floating. A new futurism, more feminine that innovates with romanticism, without fear of colors, patterns and unusual combinations.

Colors
Unreal and real, full and moon-like. The colors of Galaxy are cold and fluorescent, calm with a powdery summer coating, like neon lights that illuminate to create a blur of reflections. Bright, vivid grey, blue and sea turquoise with crystalline reflections. Fuchsia and coral colors that have been cleaned and whitened artificially.

Materials
Surfaces and thicknesses are animated by 3D effects. Prints, etchings and processes highlight the three-dimensional aspect of the leather and fabrics, which become unusual and eclectic thanks to the special finishing effects. The prints of the future are full of overlapping materials and contaminations. The materials are mixed in the structures and vice versa. Artificial and synthetic, with special effects that bring surprises and flashes. The leather materials have thin thicknesses with performances of elasticity and functionality, especially in the stretch models. The shiny finishes are enriched with pigments that create unusual iridescent reflections. Especially in metallised leather where very thin layers become an integral part of the structure, creating reliefs and geometric movements.

Bag Shapes
Unusual volumes with modern geometries. Hexagon shapes that become rounder and box shapes that are smoothed down by irregular angles and edges. Asymmetrical and symmetrical come together to create new vanity bags, original clutches and hyper-galactic backpacks. Rigid and semi-rigid. The structure is an interaction of architectural shapes. The volumes of Galaxy are modern and innovative, always in search of new angles and cuts, the result of expert bag architects. Often created with hot-moulded rigid materials, combining resin and leather, rubber and carbon fiber. The experimentations have no limit, and the materials are increasingly more functional and effective. The sizes are very small or medium sized, always functional, even in the hand versions.
