Patuna's autumn-winter 2017-2018 couture collection is a junction between Gaudi's organic architecture and Dali's dreamlike abstraction with a geometrical base elements, circle, triangle and square, Patuna has created a stunning collection fusing lines, abstracts and geometrical elements.

Oscillating between rigor and fluidity, silhouettes play the feminine / masculine contrast, and follow the movement of the body.

The question of shapes, sizes, and relative position in proportion to space is blended into gathered waistlines, pleated, folded, flexible and scalloped hemlines.

Balancing the pleated skirts, Patuna introduces flat panel front slacks and skirts, without pleat or pocket, creating one slim line.

Her use of fabrics silks, wools, velvet's, and cottons highlight the flexibility and adaptability of looks.

The color palette ranges from black and pale pink to gray, cardinal violet and white. The designs are dotted with special elements, details dear to Patuna's work, which punctuate the collection.

The knit occupies a large part of the collection: skirts, trousers, shorts, which, like «crutches of reality, highlight the oversize jackets.

Once again, the beauty of her designs is seen as an artist would gather muse from a master’s canvass. Just like Gala, Dali's muse, the woman Patuna is a woman of character, free and impetuous.
