Men's collection inspired by the imaginary of the ‘good boy’ educated in the complacency of others. The proposal by Daniel Barris explores his ability to transform himself and imagine other ways of acting and ‘playing good at being bad’. It explores the limits of evil from the innocence of a good boy, growing up under control in search of freedom.

Rough pieces reduce his action, and at times he manages to tear them off, leaving a glimpse of his most delicate and vulnerable parts. Gauzes that fall and float lightly, feathers that fly and wools that shelter are contrasted with large volumes of leather and waxed wool that break when worn with the elegant movement of one who has found a taste for breaking plates.

With a colour palette of white, black, grey and denim blue tones, the looks combine leather pieces, chiffons and layered volumes simulating classic childhood actions, like trying on our mother's dress over it.
