CARLOS GIL

FW 25/26

MATCH

The MATCH collection proposes a reflection between exuberance and simplicity, a delicate balance that mirrors the human journey of self-discovery. The theme leads us to “the encounter” – with oneself, with the need for balance, and with the authenticity that emerges from reflecting on opposites.

The exuberant and maximalist pattern, with its dynamic lines, intense movement, and complex details, symbolizes the grandeur of human expression. Carlos Gil challenges us to look at exaggeration. Excess is not the opposite of minimalism but rather the starting point. What truly matters is the essential. Minimalism is not emptiness but full of intention, prioritizing clean cuts, refined textures, and a palette that resonates with inner strength.

MATCH is the celebration of balance between the maximum and the minimum, the exaggerated and the essential. In this fusion between the eccentricity of patterns and the serenity of minimalist design, a collection emerges that balances movement and stillness, chaos and order, reaffirming fashion as the mirror of human individuality.
