Spring Summer 2023

Where the light stops shadow starts. Now is the time for shadow to unfold, emerge, to form the most magnificent shapes. This interplay of light and shadow, bright and dark, this reciprocal interconnectedness was picked up by the Mühlbauer design team for the new collection “Lichtpause” (light stops). The light that passes through open, lattice-like straw stuctures, transparent sinamay fabrics embroidered with flowers, or the garland-like ramie weave creates exciting effects on skin and shoulders. Even the crocheted hats made using a wide variety of stitch sizes are perfect for casting special shadows. Cyanotype is a blue printing process that uses the effects of the supposed opposites: shadow-casting straw braids have been projected onto fabric hats. In blue. The only colour in this collection otherwise dominated by natural hues.
