10 years after making his runway launching, Leandro Cano went back to his origins. For his fall 2024 proposition, entitled Menú, the designer returned to the very same moodboard he had actually produced his very first collection. “In Buffet, my very first collection, there was a bit of whatever,” he stated at the parking area in Madrid's town hall where the program was held. “For fall, I have actually been simplifying and distilling the styles– it still shares a few of the very same colors, shapes, and principles as that very first collection, today whatever is more fully grown and with a more worldwide viewpoint.”
The Jaén-born designer likes taking a look at historic figures to reinterpret them through his own off-kilter lens; to wit, a toile de jouy print includes the Spanish king Philip II and his spouse Mary Tudor, riding a motorbike and hanging out at a gasoline station, respectively. “I wished to break up with the agrarian origins of the print and offer it a much more difficult touch,” he described. The print likewise includes a nod to his grandpa, who was a taxi driver, and his Seat 1500. “In that cars and truck, I dreamt a thousand times about what I would provide for a living in the future.”
Cano likewise went back to the severe volumes of his starts, upgrading them through a brand-new shape. “We have actually constantly made them round and natural, and this time we chose a geometric quality. They are more architectural,” he stated. He likewise seized the day to check out black, a shade he had not utilized previously. “I have a rather love-hate relationship with black, today I feel really comfy using it,” he showed. Secret materials consisted of nappa leathers, wools, and jacquards. Real to his method of developing style, Cano proposed strategies such as macramé or crochet, with a knitting pattern he discovered on a pillow that came from his granny, forgotten for many years in a drawer.
