Collection Horror Vacui by Viviana Sorrentino

The S/S 26 Horror-vacui collection is inspired by wunderkammern, “cabinets of curiosities.” Emptiness has always been ambivalent: on the one hand, it conveys space and freedom, on the other, the unknown. Horror-vacui, or “terror of emptiness,” is the tendency to fill every possible surface with decorations, symbols, materials, or colors, taking on an existential significance.
Mystery and therefore anxiety reside in emptiness. Filling it with excess is a form of defense to avoid asking questions like “Who am I?” or “What lies beyond the appearance of things?”
Today’s world fears silence. An age that demands constant visibility.
Silhouettes highlight the feminine line, lending momentum to the figure; there is a reference to the exotic and the luxurious. The colors gradually change from dark to lighter, emphasizing a positive evolution: the individual rediscovers harmony with themselves.
The accessories recall the world of wunderkammern, with exotic objects such as tarot cards or the addition of silicone
corals.
