Juana Martín Couture FALL/WINTER 2023-2024 collection aptly titled "FIERAS"/"FAUVES" with the references to the aftermath of the Spanish Civil War is also a celebration of the great creativity of the Spanish people
The final day of Paris haute Couture week had strong surreal vibe, as Spanish fashion designer Juana Martin presented her FW23-24 collection on Thursday July 6th. Contrary to her Haute Couture Fall Winter 2022/2023 show last summer that was staged in a flower garden and catwalk celebrated one of Spain's most celebrated actresses Rossy de Palma , this collection had more serious message to convey; Martín was inspired by the gloomy atmosphere around the aftermath of the Spanish Civil War, Juana Martin crosses on emotional journey via this collection as she moves from a feeling of devastation and intense anguish to the slow development of serenity and freedom.
To tell this story, each outfit has been meticulously created. Symbols adorn the appearance, including the bull—which symbolizes the might of the Spanish people—the eyes—which allude to governmental surveillance—and the hands—which signify some sort of oppression. The cubist and abstract movements, which were used as a form of protest against the era's nationalism, are given a lot of attention in this collection. The dominating color scheme of the great Spanish artists-like Picasso's, serves as an inspiration for the white, black, gray, and silver tones.
Every piece in the FW23–24 collection has a symbolic term that refers to one of the social–cultural–artistic movements that characterized this crucial era in Spanish history: resiliency, hope, or rebirth.It features works by Juana Martin that are true live pictures, going beyond plain aesthetics to show emotional depth.The newest piece from this collection unfolds into a huge dove.It represents freedom and peace on a global scale. Juana Martin expresses in it her wish for intense serenity.
