Nicolas Andreas Taralis S/S 2012 Paris

The ‘New World’ where humans coexist with androids and robots, where society is pioneered by artificial intelligence, where everything is mysteriously unknown has finally been unveiled to us by designer Nicolas Andreas Taralis. Taralis takes us on a daring journey through a artificial and futuristic time with this latest collection. 

Unlike many others, Taralis was able to create this sci-fi realm without having to rely on an avante-garde touch, and he was able to create a futuristic line that is actually wearable. His line started with a white monochrome dress paired with futuristic boots that slowly transitioned its way into an all-black ensemble. The colors and patterns remained plain and simple drawing more attention towards the many different layers of transparent jersey cotton, diaphanous muslin, Velcro strips, coarse wool, and washed-out leather. 

Taralis gave us a taste of the once-distant future where humans and robots can coexist, a world where artificial intelligence runs society, and a world now revealed and now closer than ever.
