One year after Covid-19 hit the world, the fashion industry faced rapid digitalization. The core idea of the brands that survived this season was a collection that focused on things that virtual spaces were never able to give us - textures and the basic human and tactile senses.

​

The idea of tactile sensation stemmed from the problem of fabric supply.

Many designers have found a promising solution in their archives.

Many Collections stand out this season, focusing on their vintage, recycled fabrics, and deadstock, from the early ’20-’40s YOYO-Quilt and to the ’60-’70s Hippy Quilt.

​

Marni designer said, “A life that does not give up the feeling of the hand that makes something.”

These ideas were cherished by the Hippy of the ’60-the ’70s. At that time, they already knew the answer. This trend has repeated and revolved around us,

but we didn't realize the need. But this season, there have been many attempts to make patchwork the dominant trend, from high fashion designers to independent designers and street wearers.

​

For the Marni Collection, Francesco Risso said, “As a way to delve into reality with another gaze and another touch, we are finding another meaning to every day."

​

For the Prada Collection, Miuccia Prada explained how the re-shape of the known and the familiar in the staple of fashion is the critical component of this new Fall Collection and possibly new visual senses of these clothes.

​

For the Chloe Collection, Gabriela Hearst was using patchworks of scallops

a collage, she put sustainability at the center of the collection.

​

As many collections have shown, the patchwork trend is proof that we have

a good understanding of the problems of reality and that we are passing the test of time.
