fully-fledged fashion brand. Set in a world where light borrows time from shadow, the exhibition unfolds in a smoky, dim, fluorescent-lit space, a space that is simultaneously dystopian and utopian, instantly transporting the viewer to another world. An invitation in the form of an everyday item, a blue parking disc, connects the story to the crazy setting of a concrete-encased garage. Makeup by Inge Grognard and hair styling by Louis Ghewy, with characters covered in engine oil and sweat, add to the mood. CAMPERLAB is a laboratory with a whimsical nature, as its name suggests, where new ideas are constantly flowing. What remains constant is a world where contrasting elements merge and a design philosophy built around specific characters. This is also evident in the casting of the show, which was achieved with the help of casting director Chouaïb Arif. The unisex collection is worn by a very diverse group of people, from potential street casts to cultural icons such as Lia Lia, Gigi Goode, Matt Ox, Coucou Chloe, and Raya Martigny and Sven Marquardt, who will be making a return appearance at CAMPERLAB. They are a bridge of unique personalities that resonate with the unpredictable nature of the brand. The original soundscape and short track were created by Pandora’s Jukebox and the iconic journey was choreographed by Michele Rizzo.

The best-selling shoe “TORMENTA” (Spanish for storm) is arranged into sunglasses. Distorted Grid is a constant quest to distort familiar patterns, this time expressed through a trompe l’oeil tartan suit.

The lineup of leather accessories continues to expand, with the introduction of new shapes called “LAUKKU” and “BIG LUNSS,” offering more twisted and distorted designs than ever before. This season also marks the first time that CAMPERLAB has updated its brand logo and monogram, seen both on the catwalk and in the collection, symbolizing the company’s maturation and shedding of its shell as an independent entity from its parent company, Camper.
