Plan C unveiled its traveling Ritratti by Carolina Castiglioni exhibition of art, fashion and design at La Garçonne in Recent York on Tuesday. The project was first presented during Milan Design Week and can be available in Recent York until May 28 before traveling to Berlin’s Andreas Murkudis luxury shopping mall, Tokyo’s Isetan department store and Art Basel Miami.
“The name of the project is ‘Ritratti,’ which suggests portraits. It began from pictures that I’ve taken of my kids over time and remodeling them into color-block graphics. From there, I made a decision to do sculptures made in resin and marble powder, they’re unique pieces,” Castiglioni, creative director of Plan C, told WWD. “There are 4 subjects: a self-portrait of myself within the automobile mirror; my son Filippo; my daughter Margherita in 3-D sunglasses on the movie show, and the swimmers — my daughter and a friend.”
The Ritratti by Carolina Castiglioni x Plan C limited-edition collection offers 4 limited-edition graphics, based off the pictures in abstract scales and full of life color combos, across the mediums of sculptures (created by Milan-based artisans), hand-spun rugs in partnership with French homeware brand Trame Paris, and a limited ready-to-wear and handbag capsule.
The carpets boast blown-out versions of the graphics while ready-to-wear exhibits the works in the shape of coordinating mohair sweaters and sequin embroidered pencil skirts, in addition to painted block accents on white cotton poplin crisp shirting and small tote bags.
While Plan C’s collection have continually exuded an artful élan, Castiglioni noted the Ritratti by Carolina Castiglioni x Plan C limited-edition capsule collection marks the primary for the brand working across mediums.
“The thought is to place our creativity into several types of design and art and to create more lifestyle.”
