CHRONOS, 2023

EN
M: The ambition of the CHRONOS collection is to stop time. It thus reacts to the extreme pace of the times, the fashion itself, and the exaggeration of visuals leading to a visual aversion and apathy towards the surrounding world. These are garments that seem to be blown by the wind but are stuck in time…so that people can catch a glimpse of the beauty of a unique fleeting moment. The way a simple piece of fabric can, for example, be blown into thousands of different shapes by the wind in a hundredth of a second and create new and new shapes…that an absolutely ordinary moment can be fascinating yet also fleeting.

The jewelry collection was created for the fashion show „CHRONOS“ by Martin Hrča. It refers to the magic of the moment when time seems to stop. The jewelry is as if frozen in the middle of its journey, carrying within it the essence of time stopping. The main material is a stone that embodies the moment of immobility, slowing down and stopping.

M: The ambition of the CHRONOS collection is to stop time. It responds to the extreme pace of the era, the fashion itself, and the exaggeration of visuality leading to visual aversion and even apathy towards the surrounding world. These are garments that seem to flutter in the wind but remain stuck in time… so that people have time to look at and perceive the beauty of a unique fleeting moment. It’s about how a simple piece of fabric can, for example, ripple into thousands of different shapes thanks to the wind, shapes that cease to exist in a hundred seconds, creating new and new forms again… that an entirely ordinary moment can be fascinating yet fleeting.

K: The jewelry collection was created for Martin Hrča’s fashion show „CHRONOS“, referring to the magic of the moment when time seems to stand still. The jewelry appears as if frozen halfway through its wear, carrying the essence of a pause in time. The primary material is stone, embodying the moment of petrification, slowdown, and stoppage.
