HELIOT EMIL’s SS25 collection “CULTURAL CONSTRUCT ARTIFICIAL LANDSCAPE”, draws on the “Riverbed” installation by Olafur Eliasson, where visitors interacted with an artificial landscape.
Eliasson transformed the Louisiana Museum of Modern Art into a volcanic landscape. The SS25 collection shows textures and fabric manipulations reminiscent of rivers and stones. The garments delve into the idea of contrast, in both fabric choices, design and combining HELIOT EMIL’s well-known technicality with fluid, organic elements.
The SS25 collection’s color palette, directly inspired by the landscapes of Iceland, references the elements of Eliasson’s “Riverbed”. Volcanic black, stone colors and glacier white hints to a raw sense of nature.
Stone is the defining color of the season, drawn from the mineral deposits. Think of Stone as nature’s own neutral. It’s the color of Icelandic lava fields after they’ve cooled, the shade of rocks shaped by time and weather.
This muted, earthy shade reflects the surfaces of basalt cliffs and cooled lava, integrated in the collection’s sculptural silhouettes and layered textures.
This collection reimagines clothing as both craftsmanship and expression, where form and function coexist naturally. The textures reference the naturally formed streams and creeks in the glaciers of Iceland and the delicate ripples imprinted on sand.
Every stitch is intentional, shaping garments that are both structural and fluid, refined yet effortless.
