FLICK’MO...
Flick’Mo... carries to the fashion runway the passion of the designer Carlos Gil for painting and artistic freedom through the creation of forms, free and spontaneous traces that express feelings.
Inspired by the early 20th-century paintings, in a mix of Neoplasticism, Cubism and Abstractionism, the collection reveals a very diverse color palette and the strong tones that are predominantly in Piet Mondrian’s Neoplasticism, however, with the profusion of organic shapes and vibrant colors of Wassily Kandinsky, but with a composition that seeks for movement and spontaneity, that refers to the Expressive Abstractionism.
Also, in the beginning of 20th-century the woman assumes an increasingly important and active role in society and wins an independence that characterizes her as a determined, autonomous and cosmopolitan woman. A woman that finds in her clothes the versatility in use and in the details.
In a very poetic and experimentalist language, the collection reveals a lot of the inner world and the imaginary connected to her own Self.
An explosion of colors, patterns of organic shapes, a mix of textures and silhouettes constructed by the fusion of the geometric forms, denounce the search for a contemporary, elegant and relaxed look, with details that create a Sportswear Chic visual, so characteristic of the Carlos Gil’s Woman.
