The artistic currents are born from a common idea, carried forward by every artist, with his own style. The avant-gardes are created this way, even in fashion. The Japanese – from Yamamoto passing through Kawakubo up to Miyake – form the basis of their success with two elements: harmony of the lines to which they add a strong dose of experimentation. On a chromatic level they prefer black, while in terms of personality, they are as delicate as they are independent. Max.Tan seems to adhere to the oriental philosophy in creating his collections.

For the summer season, shortly in stores, the young designer from Singapore focuses on the black and white plastic dichotomy. It is not really new. In fact, since 2010, the color palette used has always been minimalist, since the real goal is the construction of the garment, its wearability. The woman’s body to dress. Compared to the past there is an unprecedented note, not so much in experimentation, which prevails above all in the materials, rather in the silhouette. While before it was complex and interesting at the same time to discover the avant-garde construction of the designer, today the dress appears in its entirety. An interpretation exercise is no longer necessary.

Max.Tan gets rid of the superstructures to go to the point: to make a feminine body wear something unique – in fact the creative aspect is never less – and of easy stylistic compression at the same time. The simplicity is however detailed by an elegance that refers to an oriental aesthetic but even to western, thus going to define a contemporary look: never mini, the skirts are long up to the knee or maxi; jumpsuits start tight and thin, then open up to the feet. To combine with a light cotton shirt for the evening or a white t-shirt during the day. Versatility is another key word.

The reasons for this small revolution can be of a commercial nature, in fact the more a product is simple the more cultured it is; or the designer’s path is taking a different direction, which, however, still seems difficult to discover already. To do this, we need to wait for the next collections.
