Bluemarble Presents Its New Fall/Winter 2024 Collection: Starchaser
Luxferity, 20.03.2024
To boldly go where we have not gone before…
This fifth year of BLUEMARBLE has encouraged us to both play up the designs that define the brand and venture into new territory. Kidlat Tahimik’s film, Perfumed Nightmare (1979), the story of a young Jeepney driver from the Philippines fascinated by the American space program in the 1960s, became a point of departure. The boundless curiosity that brings him to Paris and beyond felt like a parallel for our ongoing wanderlust while overlapping with my Filipino heritage.
As the famous description of the world from space, the name BLUEMARBLE reminds us that we occupy a single planet – a reality check that also underscores one of the most fundamental things we share as humans. We can travel just about anywhere on this earth, but imagine if we could take a journey into the unknown? Thinking of Apollo 11’s historic mission and the lunar landing plaque, this collection began with naïve notions of peace and took on a funkier feel, fueled by optimism and possibility for the future. Even if no one is dressing for space just yet, BLUEMARBLE could certainly dream up our own trip.
