The NUBU 2022 spring/summer collection was inspired by the work of artist Zsolt József Simon. The ceramicist works with a technique developed by himself, which results in the creation of a unique language in the work of designing his art pieces.
Judit Garam, the leading designer of NUBU, was inspired by the ambivalent appearance of the artist’s work, which manifests itself in the airy frame-like structures of the heavy ceramics. Asymmetry and twisted shapes are recurring to some of the pieces in the collection, the prints on the textiles and the texture of the materials used also suggest the structure of his vases. This innovative and fresh-looking frame structure is reflected in the raw stitching, layers and fabrics of the garments. The main colors of the collection are black and white, but khaki, terracotta and powder shades are also featured, which are also typical of the artist’s work. Narrow-strapped dresses, waist-high silhouettes, and delicate, feminine detailing allude to the details of his ceramic sculptures.
