The brand sent a sportswear fantasy collection down the runway with technical details ranging from weaving to pleating and an androgynous-meets-alien aesthetic. 
 
The show began as models stood in and amongst translucent panels hanging from the ceiling, forming a circular cluster on the 360 degree runway. As the models emerged, sporty suits, structured mini dresses and psychedelic separates showed Pieux’s colourful vision for the future of fashion. 

Styled with sunglasses, goggles, and sneakers, the collection wearable basics and used digital printing to transform them into conceptual garments. The lighting turned blue as the final looks were shown and the models re-entered their chrysalis-esque maze.
