Líneas de la colección
Following a period dedicated to exploring darkness in BLACKNOIR, the brand is moving into a new dimension: seeking the light that is no longer merely sensed, but perceived and constructed. This is the LUMINHAZ moment, a magical phenomenon of energy that radiates from within and acts like that golden hour at dusk when everything takes on a more flattering light, contours soften and reality seems enhanced without artifice. LUMINHAZ is a state of flow in which everything around us comes into harmony.
The LUMINHAZ collection does not speak of light in the abstract, but rather of the beam, the ray and direction. It is light that penetrates, reveals, sculpts and places the collection in a dialogue between two sources of clarity: that which seems to emanate from within the material – almost as a contained revelation, resonating with the silent spirituality of the Transparente in Toledo Cathedral, where the architecture opens up to make way for the beam – and that which exists in its capacity to reflect, amplify and project the sacred, as expressed in Enrique de Arfe's monstrance. Between these two manifestations, LUMINHAZ constructs its language with surfaces that capture light and return it in golden flashes, volumes that appear to be illuminated from within, and fabrics that not only cover the body but transform it into both a source and a mirror.
In LUMINHAZ, forms are transformed into atmospheres where light devours matter. The opulence of the embroidery, with its inlaid gemstones, envelops the volumes like a Baroque jewellery box, conveying a sense of emotional excess. A contemporary transposition of the codes and techniques of monumental goldsmithing into the language of handcrafted textiles, designed to overwhelm the senses.
A collection of sumptuous dresses that reveal the contours of the female form and frame them in sculptural silhouettes: a tubular line with a peplum, a tectonic corolla skirt, a corseted waist, bare collarbones, an orbital neckline and dome-shaped sleeves. This bodily architecture redefines femininity through volumes that interpret excess with zero-gravity finishes. These are suspended structures, where masterful craftsmanship allows the relief to float above the body. It is the culmination of a new aesthetic order, where ornamentation constitutes the very structure of power.
The figure disappears beneath an almost pictorial array of gemstones and the splendour of ethereal ornamentation, whose reflections float above networks of metallic filigree embroidered with pearls and crystal. Overlapping textures create translucent alabaster effects that seem to melt, enveloping gauze and delicate lace in a choreography of contrasts where light, transformed into filigree, expands, filters through and is projected.
The colour palette revolves around an almost spiritual golden glow, like a polychrome altarpiece where gold is not a colour but a surface, and ivory is framed by folds of shimmering satin. The parchment finishes soften the light, whilst the lacquered details radiate it, fragmenting the beam in multiple directions, as if each embossed embroidery were a point of light that, with its reflections, envelops the body in a luminous dimension.
LUMINHAZ also lends its name to a new project by the brand that explores the realm of flash beauty. A debut that brings its creative vision to the world of luxury cosmetics: a seven-day ritual designed with a dual effect that allows the skin to reflect and radiate light simultaneously. An essential treatment that offers a transformative luminous effect for exceptional moments where presence takes centre stage.
