Spectrum 2013 s.s collection, Cy Choi x Roberu , Hand Made in Japan



Named ‘Spectrum’, the collection explores how colours are produced when light passes through a glass prism or a drop of water. To this end, Cy Choi investigated the dualities found in this physical process and how it applied to artistic creativity: when light is generated, one observes an initial stage of Collision and Resistance (as light passes through a prism it collides with the physicality of the prism itself, thus encountering resistance) followed by a stage of Refraction and Diffusion (the result of the collision and resistance between light and prism that ultimately synthesises and resolves the duality of forms), leading to the creation of Rainbow and Invisible Rays (colours that are recognised by the human eye and infrared and ultraviolet lights that are invisible to our naked eyes).

Paris based designer brand Cy Choi has collaborated with Japanese leather goods makers Roberu on a range of accessories for Spring/Summer 2013. Complementing the main line by Cy Choi for next season, Roberu produced leather bags in a variety of silhouettes and colors. Our favorite piece is for sure the large size tote, which also comes in a great bright yellow colorway.
