Kasia Kucharska's Spring 2027 Collection: Illusions in Latex
Kasia Kucharska presented her ninth collection at Berlin Spring 2027, focusing on latex illusions that simulate familiar garments like denim, knitwear, and trench coats. The collection of just over a dozen looks explores the tension between stability and collapse, with some pieces appearing perfectly familiar while others seem to dissolve. Kucharska returned to handcrafting each piece in her Berlin studio, abandoning machine-assisted methods to create unique objects. The effect is compared to Pop Art, particularly Roy Lichtenstein, as the latex simulates not materials but the memory of them. The collection marks a deliberate refocus on latex after expanding into other fabrics.
