The inspiration for the 24SS collection comes from the works of French painter Martin Barre.
The keywords that I associate with his works from the 60s and 70s are "break," "diagonal," "spray," "line," and "square/grid," and I also incorporated the coloring of his works from the 80s and 90s into the material.

After seeing graffiti in the Paris subway in 1963, he turned to spray paint; between 1963 and 1967, he created over 150 paintings using spray paint. There is no direct physical contact between the artist and the work, the canvas is an almost photographic record of the spray's movement, the concentration of paint that blackens the canvas is a function of the distance between the canvas and the spray can, whether the can is full or almost empty, the speed of execution, the canvas is painted vertically and then a function of the time it takes to lay it down horizontally. This experimental approach by Martin Barré was incorporated into his coats and cut-and-sews. In order to express the space consisting of the interrupted lines of his works, he also interrupted the check pattern, created fringes by breaking the weft threads, and eliminated stitches in the middle to express the border between casual and dress.

After a four-year hiatus from painting beginning in 1967, Martin Barré returned to painting in 1972. The works he created during these five years are among his best known. It depicts various grids and marks. Working exclusive- ly with acrylic paint, Barré first applies red ochre to the canvas. He then applies several layers of white paint, diluted as necessary to make the undercoat invisible. He also immersed himself in specific tasks, such as carving graphite grids into the canvas, filling in parts of the grids with lines, and covering the grids and streaks with translucent washes of whitish paint. The strength of the grids and diagonal lines of this period is expressed in materials and knits.
