The Diamair:
Ceci n’est pas un éditorial
Deconstructing decadence: uncovering the “mystery” within a collapsing system.
A pervasive blindness currently affects humanity; a state where traditional meaning seems to have evaporated. Fashion is increasingly perceived as losing its soul, shifting from a vessel of cultural reflection to a fragmented landscape of trends driven by fast fashion and ephemeral consumption. As the industry grows more chaotic, its traditional role as a cultural unifier and a form of artistic expression is being sidelined by the superficial.
The key lies in rediscovering a pure, essential beauty that transcends formal harmony; a beauty achieved by stripping away superficial layers to reveal an authentic, meaningful core. A profound shift in consciousness — moving beyond the ego to harmonise with the shared frequencies of existence — is the only path out of this dystopian emptiness.
Art remains the driving force behind the evolution of collective consciousness. It takes shape through intuition — a subtle, silver thread tracing the invisible frequencies that unite us. The Diamair symbolises the transition from intellectual isolation to a state of energetic resonance with the collective unconscious.

Whispers of Surreal Beauty - Myth, Couture & Dream.
Hyper Surrealism: Fashion’s New Frontier
Yuima Nakazato’s evocative journey, Weiraen’s retrofuturistic distortions, and Ziyu Ma’s exploration of the unknown are united by a new form of artistic language: Hyper Surrealism.
Thanks to the spread of Artificial Intelligence, generative digital art allows for the creation of increasingly complex scenarios that are far removed from conventional reality. This development makes it possible to recreate archetypes and sensations that have always animated the human unconscious. Simultaneously, the development of advanced technologies (3D printing and sustainable alternative materials) has made it possible to shape and create forms with otherworldly echoes.
These collections are a clear sign of how art and the need to investigate the matrix of the universe can find greater expression through contemporary technology. This is how fashion is now able to convey this innate appeal: initially by abstracting itself from matter, and then redesigning it by expanding its boundaries.
Yuima Nakazato’s vision of
avant-garde and Nordic landscapes
at Paris Fashion Week 2025.
On 29 January 2025, during Paris Haute Couture Week, Yuima Nakazato—the Tokyo-born designer renowned for his fusion of advanced technology and traditional craftsmanship—unveiled his Glacièr collection. The collection serves as a manifesto for a new equilibrium between art, nature, and technology: an imposing, lucid, and profoundly contemporary vision inspired by the landscapes of Lapland, suspended between frost and silence, desolate vastness and Sami mythology.
“In Lapland, I felt how fragile the human body is and how clothing must protect us and connect us with the environment,” says the designer. This tension between vulnerability and resistance translates into garments with soft, enveloping silhouettes: clean cuts, fluid volumes, and contrasting textures, with a palette ranging from glacial white to the shimmering hues of the Northern Lights. Each look maintains a sophisticated, functional aesthetic, creating a constant oxymoron between rigidity and fluidity.
Supporting this vision is a collaboration with Epson, specifically utilizing the Lisa ML-16000JQ printer. Equipped with AI and advanced camera sensors, the technology recognizes fabrics to print with extreme precision on both sides with equal intensity, achieving perfectly mirrored graphic effects even on complex surfaces such as jacquard, lace, and organza.
Nakazato thus unveils a collection that explores the dialogue between humanity and the environment, matter and imagination—inviting us to reflect on the role of clothing in the world we inhabit, and the one we envision.
Digital Distortion: the 2025 Shanghai Fashion Week stages Weiraen’s dystopian garden.
On 30 March, Weiraen unveiled her latest collection, The Garden of Aberration, in Huangpu. The experimental New York-based designer founded her eponymous brand shortly after graduating from Parsons School of Design. “My style aims to create a new visual language via digital manipulation and textile experimentation. I construct unique visual elements in three-dimensional spaces, blurring the boundaries between the physical and digital worlds,” she told Violet Holt in an interview for Arcadia Magazine.
Weiraen’s work masterfully blends innovative techniques with traditional craftsmanship, subverting conventional fashion practices. Through a distinctive interdisciplinary approach, she is pioneering a visual narrative that merges the tangible with the virtual.
In this collection, she constructs a parallel dimension where the charm of Eden collides with a dystopian transformation of reality, resulting in a hyper-surrealist narrative. Each look is crafted like a living sculpture, distorting and reinterpreting the human form. Like mutant flowers blooming from a futuristic garden, models emerge in garments of manipulated fabrics and metallic fibres that appear to merge with the skin. The liquefying textures and deforming silhouettes echo the works of Salvador Dalí and René Magritte, while the minimalist styling evokes a retro-futuristic aesthetic reminiscent of the 1960s and 70s. The result is a visual paradox that transcends the unknown.
Singularité: Ziyu Ma’s
surrealist odyssey.
“Transcending time and space, defining eternal uniqueness. Shaping the future, exploring the boundaries of the unknown’"is the powerful slogan that captures the essence of the Singularité brand, founded in London in 2025 by Ziyu Ma, aka Taro. Taro redefines experimental haute couture by investigating the deep connection between cosmic phenomena and the archetypes of the unconscious.
The debut collection, Origin and Awe, was presented during London Fashion Week (Autumn/Winter 2025 season), in collaboration with Flair Fashion, a project supporting emerging designers. On this occasion, the Flair Fashion Frontier Show showcased eight visionary designers, including Ziyu Ma, highlighting bold creativity and revolutionary digital advances, unveiling a world where innovation meets art and the future of fashion takes centre stage.
Singularité transports the audience to another dimension with Origin and Awe. Taro’s haute couture creates otherworldly silhouettes that challenge the audience to grasp their three-dimensional impact. Inspired by science fiction and the film Annihilation, the collection explores the profound interconnectedness of the universe, challenging traditional fashion conventions. Bold colours and hybrid “human-fish” textures drawn from the ancient Yangshao Banpo culture generate surreal images that seem to float between two worlds.
The Human-Fish plot
The designer refers to the pottery of Banpo, a site that developed in the Gallo River basin between 5000 and 3000 BC, where the Yangshao culture evolved. The paintings on the pottery depict a combination of human faces and fish and are linked to primitive religious symbolism that reflects the beliefs and religious practices of this period.
