In a society once obsessed with the need to belong to a certain social status and imposed image, Multiplicity presents an entirely new view of our selves. Instead of seeing each person as a single personality, we all consist of multiple characters, in multiple scenarios, each one with its own viewpoint, emotions and ambitions.
Post the pandemic, we saw a shift from aesthetic based style towards more individual dress codes; forging a deeper and personal connection to fashion and shaping of one’s identity according to their own terms of self-expression, ethical and sustainable considerations. Injustice, trauma and disconnection, has awakened us to the privilege of knowing ‘the Self’ and dressing with ‘an appeal for the real’, declaring a contemporary authenticity. London-based jeweller, Alan Crocetti says his creations "invites the dislocation of one’s subjectivity; accepting multiple selves who dare to escape and explore radical and fantastic possibilities."

A new global ethos is emerging, Individuals have become the creators and icons of their own stories on social media. We are witnessing a shift of power from established brands to emerging and unapologetically non-conforming underground artists. Socially withdrawn from controlled standards, these anti-authoritarian designers have gained greater traction and become an integral part of fashion’s new narrative. Self-expression marries both style with everydayness, spectacular with blunt, and legitimized trends that until recently were mutually exclusive.
