COMMUTE narrates the tale of the urban nomad, navigating the bustling cityscape through a rhythmic routine from dawn till dusk. We are intrigued by this daily journey, riding together with strangers, sharing space and a common goal of reaching their destination. Each journey unfolds in its own tempo, some radiating more hectic energies, others linger… Pockets of tranquillity emerge from those finding meditative spaces amidst the chaos. Borders dissolve, realities blend and everything is in motion as the urban landscape pulses with life, fluid and ever-changing. Here, personal narratives converge with the public domain, each encounter offering a glimpse into a unique perspective.
Within the historic streets of Potsdamer Platz, between sky-high, concrete structures, and where tree canopies line the streets; on the corner of Alte Potsdamer Straße and Varian-Fry Straße, Avenir invites the audience to step into the rhythm of the urban journey at the showcasing of COMMUTE SS25.
Drawing inspiration from diverse metropolitan landscapes and the dynamic tapestry of urban commuters, the collection incorporates materials and influences that celebrate the rich mosaic of city living. Weaving together the intricate narratives of individuals in our global society; COMMUTE showcases the anonymous faces in the crowd, a diverse array of personalities, styles, and routines, each one contributing to the shared daily rituals of commuter culture.
From the rhythmic hum of the subway to the electric buzz of the city streets, COMMUTE captures the essence of urban life in motion; and Avenir brings this to life on the runway.
