Maciej Zień’s Bloom 2023 show
Bloom. Freedom. Life.
It was an extravaganza of colours, textures and patterns. Maciej Zień's show brought out a lot of emotions and defied the conventions. The designer amazed spectators with a completely new approach to fashion and design. All these were framed by a unique set design created on the Balance Stone collection.
On his most recent trip to Paris, Maciej Zień went into raptures over a stunning bouquet of roses. Their ethereal charm...
combined with the airiness of the arrangement inspired him to create the Bloom collection. As such, roses could not be missing from the interiors of the Palace of Culture and Science in Warsaw, where the show was held. The set design was made of three thousand pomarosa roses. These subtle flowers accented the monumentality of the Balance Stone marble.
- Designing is tricky. First comes the inspiration, on which...
I do sketches. Then outfits are stitched, models are chosen, and finally make-up and hairstyles are done for each one. However an equally important part of working on a new line is the location where it is shown. This time, the Balance Stone tiles, designed for the Tubądzin Group, form the setting.
The Bloom show captivated with its mastery and craftsmanship. Every single detail of the event was taken care of to perfection; at the same time, the inspiration of nature's artistry sounded out in more than just the dreamlike creations.
- The Bloom collection is filled with the joy of life and freedom that comes straight from nature, just like the Balance Stone ceramic tiles. I would like everyone to find something for themselves in it. That is why it is diverse and multi-dimensional. I have often used natural, precious materials, which - just like ceramics - are an incredibly rewarding material to work with.
The Bloom collection is the icing on the cake of life's energy encapsulated in a wealth of colours and shades. Equally, it emphasises the role...
of harmony and gentleness in providing balance to all of us. The Balance Stone tiles, inspired by Portuguese Alpine marble with its gorgeous, creamy colours, vividly underscored the integrity of humans and nature, creating a strikingly balanced and radiant setting for the show.
- It was important for me to return, after a long break caused by the pandemic, with designs that would beat...
stagnation and bring joy and freedom - says Maciej Zień. - That is why, in case of the Bloom collection, I have focused on floral patterns and saturated colours. For me, the Bloom is a range of innovations, a vivid colour palette combined with imaginative patterns that best reflect bloom itself - he adds.
