“WHIPLASH” – Belgium
Nature in Motion, Structure in Silence
The 26SS collection focuses on the iconic Whiplash Curve of Belgian Art Nouveau.
Through F/CE.’s perspective, these fluid, organic forms are reinterpreted and reconstructed into contemporary functional wear.
“Nature in Motion, Structure in Silence”
This phrase encapsulates the core philosophy of the collection, articulating both its structural framework and conceptual foundation.
“Nature in Motion” refers to dynamic three-dimensional constructions and asymmetrical patterning inspired by organic forms found in nature.
Flowing lines, layered designs reminiscent of leaves and petals, and draping and cutting that resonate with the wearer’s movement embody this idea.
“Structure in Silence” represents a refined design approach that integrates functionality and architectural structure without overt assertion.
Forms built through firm materials and three-dimensional pattern making possess a quiet yet confident presence—structural in nature, but understated—offering high practicality for both urban life and outdoor environments.
Anchored in these two perspectives, F/CE. 26SS presents a new vision of clothing where nature, ornamentation, structure, and function coexist. Rooted in the aesthetics and philosophy of Art Nouveau, the collection rebalances beauty and functionality for contemporary living.
