ENCENS No. 55 proposes a journey through time using the number five as a connecting thread between past and present. From René Gruau's drawings for Christian Dior in 1955 to current proposals by Giorgio Armani and Hed Mayner, this issue spans key decades in fashion: André Courrèges' obsession with optical white in 1965; the peasant inspiration of Yves Saint Laurent and Kenzo in 1975; and the encounter between the powerhouse woman and Japanese deconstruction in 1985. A fictional edition that invites us to observe the present from a new perspective.
