Simone Rainer SS14

Once again Simone Rainer builds his SS14 collection with geometric precision. In the scenario of a solitary journey through a desert that captivates with its majestic emptiness, colors shift from orange to dustier tones and are cut by a graphic and impenetrable black. Geometric lucky charms arise from the burning sand where pyramids are built as far as the eye can see: triangles following triangles, shaping an obsessive repetition of volumes. The only notable difference lies in their shade that alters when the evening sun washes over everything veering the marvelous orange tint to one of deep blood red, and the last rays of sun stretch out like golden chains seemingly wanting to hold on to such architectural pleasure. The shadows darken the stone spines like sensual mirages of fluid black patent leather.

But as the mechanical action of the wind begins to change the silent landscape, the air burns to life only to uncover another slice of this SS14 collection; a slice of leather crust, sun-scorched canvas and untreated jute that grazes the hands and smells of distant places. Black leather embodies turgid volumes, carrying structures and adding a new three-dimensional flavor, as the rays of the now blinding sun shine pretentiously over golden metals and leather patent.

• BRAND IDENTITY •

The brand Simone Rainer unites the traditional essence and craftsmanship of leather and the unquestionable precision of geometry in a mission to recreate ideal beauty and perfection. From the brand’s logo – a pythagorean pentagon enclosing an isosceles triangle – to every single handbag made, the basic common principle of perfection that is the golden ratio rule is applied. This mathematical constant algebraically expressed as Φ phi (=1,618), is found in all volumes, proportions and dimensions, and right down to the smallest detail.

Rainer’s desire to exceed his own vision of superlative aesthetics is also seen in his personal interpretation of the three phases of the alchemic process that transforms base substances to gold (nigredo, albedo, rubedo). With this concept in mind, every one of his collections gives life to special and unique leather finishings and treatments, such as black etched calfskin, touch-sensitive color-changing nappa lambskin, and 9 carat gold powder prints.The S/S 2013 collection keeps Rainer’s basics in place while exploring the human body at its crudest. Inspired by Diderot’s and D’Alembert’s encyclopedia and by Rembrandt’s “The Anatomy Lesson of Dr.Nicolaes Tulp”, he dissects and examines all the body’s components. The result is a set of unusual and diverse handbags that interpret organs and their textures, and are reminiscent of the scientific accuracy of autopsies and lab work.

• CONCEPT OF COLLECTION A/W 2013-14 •

A supernova is a stellar explosion so bright that it briefly outshines the luminosity of the galaxy and radiates as much energy as the sun. In the same way, the Simone Rainer A/W 2013-14 collection; “Supernovae”, is an uncontainable explosion of creative material geometries fueled by the desire to discover the universe and its secrets.
Exploring the essence of stars and star dust, inspiring daydreams and describing meteorites, narrating the story of a contemporary Little Prince, Rainer delivers an enchanting and poetic idea.

• PRODUCT DESCRIPTION A/W 2013-14 •

The golden ratio rule is still present and manifests itself through three-dimensional perfection and spiral shapes inspired by twirling galaxies. Sparkling diamonds occur like surprising bursts of light and geometric shapes appear as galactic flakes. Materials are reminiscent of those expelled by the supernova’s explosion; uraniam, cobalt, gold and silver.
