The latest project was created in cooperation with Kassily Wandinsky. It refers to conscious creation of new visual language, the alphabet of colour and passwords. Together they form a new grammar for artistic language based on the assumption that the color can live only in conjunction with the letter-message. Basing on NATO Phonetic Alphabet, they use it to code one sign the relation between colour, form and the content. The result is a visual game #KASSILYGAME written in the form of printing on fabric, which you can read and compose freely as letter-messages. Its premiere will take place during the participation in the two cultural festivals in Japan. The game of the same title also announces the latest designer collection for Autumn/Winter 2016/17.
