Collection Survey: P.A.M ‘Magma’
Red hot.
It is no secret that we are forever frothing new stuff from P.A.M. This season is no different. In a red hot women’s AW17 campaign, happy neons, swishy nylons and harlequin stripes serve one purpose: tuning out and tapping in.
Two slogans rip through the collection. “VIDEO” references Katia and Maurice Krafft — husband and wife, Volcanologists, and pioneers in filming and documenting their studies of erupting earth. “CULTURE VS NATURE” comes direct from a 1976 issue of File Magazine: ” Culture / see what you like. Nature / love what you see.”
“Perhaps it’s time to skip the visit to the museum and spend the day in nature instead,” the press release suggests. “In the same way it’s time to stop watching the news and start enjoying your life.” And with the flick of a reflective bomber, we might just do that.
