Davidelfin is one of those designers for whose show you can expect anything, he doesn´t waste
time with club music to make their models strike sexy poses on a plain catwalk. When the
show starts, it actually means show, art show. For this season, called Diogenes Syndrome,
David placed 200 kilos of clothes at the end of the catwalk, a clear Diogenes case but an arty
one, as it was a wink to Boltanski, one of his favourite artists. The clothes on the models,
however looked light and tailored, free yet constructed and controlled,
but more than anything, beautiful.
