AMPLITUDA (created in 2016 by Alexandra Amplituda) focuses on futuristic dresses, corsets and accessories, made from extraordinary objects. All AMPLITUDA collections stem from inspiration sourced from religious iconography and myth and are inspired by the aesthetics of ancient civilizations. The AMPLITUDA woman is both an ancient muse and a warrior woman.
So, it is with this new offering from AMPLITUDA, which explored the relationship between weakness and strength, femininity and masculinity. Plastic metallic corsets emblazoned with crystalline patterns – the brand’s signature piece – were featured, as well as other armor-like pieces that highlight the role of the woman as a symbol of power. Shimmery faux-fur coats were also part of this collection, combined with fluffy tulle dresses. All were accompanied with corsets of plastic tubing and wire – brutalist yet tender – and belts that used a pair of mannequin hands as a buckle – a truly daring move of Mugler proportions.
