Debut is about creating an artistic background and language of its own, a starting point. The collection attempts to narrate a new route through the largely uncharted territory of menswear, trends, and artistic expression. It communicates through visual codes and references, from literal images printed onto garments to subtle allegories. One way to describe it is “schizophrenic”: the garments exist on the spectrum between wearability and commercial success, and avant-garde experimentation.

Francisco de Goya is a major influence on the collection, both consciously and subconsciously. As one of Spain’s greatest painters, his vision and brutally expressive style still feel relevant today. His ability to combine fantasy and reality allows contemporary audiences to connect with his work. His energetic brushstrokes create movement and expression, communicating powerful ideas without words.

The collection uses natural materials such as leather, cotton, and wool, although synthetic fabrics also appear. These materials are stripped of their original finish and sourced from former garments, flea markets, or found objects. They are bleached, printed, painted, manipulated, washed in the sea, crumpled, boiled, destroyed, rebuilt, dirtied, hand-washed, and ultimately given new dignity.
