At the centre of the imagery stands Santiago Calatrava’s incredible 136-metre high Montjuic Communications Tower, built to transmit television coverage of the 1992 Summer Olympic Games in Barcelona and designed to resemble an athlete carrying the Olympic torch. Against a clear sky, models are styled head-to-toe in the house’s SS20 collection by Benjamin Bruno as ‘nomadic pilgrims’ who appear as if beamed from another dimension on a futuristic odyssey in search of harmony.

Dressed in oversized knits, tunics, ultrafine linen denim and otherworldly hiking boots, these boys continue the journey that began with Jonathan Anderson‘s SS20 show in june; set to John Maus’ sleepy pop ballad Hey Moon, the designer sent his man on a dreamscape quest that continues to take shape here.
