MERYL of SEASON FOUR: INDEX 2022 IVAN MEDRANO, EDITORIAL ONE

‘SEASON FOUR: INDEX’ utilises minimalism to hone the absolute essence of the IVAN MEDRANO brand identity. Stripped of a thematic narrative, the collection focuses on the foundational garments, materials, silhouettes, and motifs that construct Medrano’s visual language. An index of digital fashion, the collection defines the codes and conventions signature to Medrano’s work. “I want to get to the point where one could lay my work out in a room of garments and point out, with certainty, which ones were mine.” The floating gloss mountains and black ensembles contrast a sunless daybreak sky, transcending the passing of time and the limits of the physical world. The rendered models, 3D scanned and sculpted by Medrano, pose immortalised in liminal space. The collection is a starting point, a prologue to the future of Medrano’s work and the endless articulation of digital fashion. In its barest bones and simplest form.
