CLON8 : Platho ƒórmes
CLON8 Spring Summer 2019 is inspired by the word ‘Platho’. The Greek verb ‘platho‘ which means ‘to mould’ or ‘to give form’ is the root of the word ‘Plastic’. Thus, from a broader aspect, we are surrounded by plastic both directly and metaphorically, we shape, define and give form to everything, not merely around us but likewise within us, our inner self our very own reality.
