Introducing Monotrama SS26
Balkanica presents the MONOTRAMA SS26 collection, where the Huari print is reborn as Festatrama with vibrant geometries, alongside the new Monotrama and Monodanza designs, inspired by the Peruvian spider monkey and Elena Izcue’s 1925 reinterpretation.
The proposal intertwines pre-Hispanic cosmovision and European Neoplasticism, creating asymmetrical yet harmonious geometric compositions, with red and light blue outlines that evoke architectural plans and a retro spirit tied to art, mid-century architecture, and collecting.
The name Monotrama reflects this double play: the monkey as a cultural symbol and the weave as a graphic and textile language.
