Spring / Summer 23
States of matter
Matter is defined as an object of mass which occupies space. We are all made of matter and exist in three different states: solid, liquid and gas; each with the ability to intermix with one another and be transformed. The moonray spring / summer 2023 collection studies the literal and profound aspects of these states of matter: their unique qualities, innate versatility and infinite possibilities.
With this collection, we explore the constant shifting of molecules as matter changes state, evident in the densely embroidered beads on crochet dresses, solid, semi-precious gemstones on liquid-like crochet knit fabric, and intricately beaded circular cut-outs on the hems and pockets reminiscent of the interplay between solid and vapour. Organic cotton, crochet, summer muslins and forest-certified viscose and raw denim bring the versatility of the collection to life— making it perfect for a balmy summer day or a night on the town.
“Cheerfulness, it would appear, is a matter which depends fully as much on the state of things within, as on the state of things without and around us.” ― Charlotte Brontë
