“ANDENES” FW26/27 Presentation

Welcome to the journey of "Andenes” . An exploration that begins from the surface and leads to the depths, like a dive into the ocean, like the creative process, like self-discovery.

Before we begin: Andenes is a village in northern Norway, where submerged canyons and the cold currents of the North Sea create a vital habitat for whales, which rise from the abyss to breathe before disappearing once again into the depths.

This is where the collection was born: a reflection on the immensity and beauty of the unknown. A dimension that reveals itself only by moving beyond the surface and allowing oneself to be guided downward, toward the deepest and most authentic, unexplored parts of the self.

THE PATH

Like a journey, the presentation space is divided into areas to be explored.

Each area represents a phase of the creative process, as well as a level of inner depth.

AREA 1

Surface - The Origin

The surface is the starting point, where everything begins.

It marks the beginning of the creative journey: this is where the imagery of Andenes takes shape through images, visual references and suggestions that portray the ocean as a metaphor for interiority.

The surface also reflects how we perceive ourselves, filtered through what appears.

AREA 2

Midwater - The Process

Descending into depth means entering the process.

In this area, the collection unfolds through matter: fabrics, drawings, textile manipulations, experiments and intuitions become an integral part of the creative narrative.

The denim roll laid on the floor transforms into a timeline, a continuous flow that connects idea and execution, hand and thought. Everything begins with the fabric: 100% deadstock, carefully sourced in the Prato textile district, selected and reinterpreted to tell new stories.

As in every process, we begin to dig deeper and see ourselves more clearly: an image still partial, yet more profound.

AREA 3

Depth - The Synthesis

The depth is the place of synthesis.

Here, the process transforms into form, and the collection emerges in its full expression. The garments come to life, revealing intimate details and quiet constructions.

It is the deepest and most unknown point of the journey, where we can finally see who we truly are.
