GAU

ÉXTASIS is not just a collection, but an experience that is encapsulated and offered as a symbolic pill. As if the entire visual and conceptual universe of the collection, i.e. its colours, contradictions, desires and paradoxes, could be compressed into a psychotropic capsule of art and fashion, ready to be ingested by those who dare to cross the threshold of the everyday. 

Inspired by Hieronymus Bosch’s The Garden of Earthly Delights, this capsule acts as a direct portal to the collective subconscious, where pleasure and sin coexist in a hallucinatory dance. 

It delves into the complexity of its themes and the richness of its colours and shapes. The core topic is the duality of human beings, the struggle between good and evil, as well as the exploration of pleasures and sins. 

Just like Bosch’s surreal visions, ÉXTASIS confronts us with the desires that arise within us: the pursuit of beauty, the fight for authenticity and the longing for connection.  

Those who attend not only see the collection, but also consume it. Each garment is a molecule that reconfigures perception, a verse absorbed by the senses. By taking this visual pill, the viewer becomes an active participant in the aesthetic delirium. They allow themselves to feel, to doubt, to face their shadows and embrace their yearning for redemption, while evoking the world of fiesta, trance and modern rituals, where boundaries between body, emotion and vision dissolve. 

GAU’s ÉXTASIS collection encapsulates our deepest contradictions and turns them into a driving force for change. The capsule is not an escape, but a revelation. 

Just as Bosch’s work presents a fragmented and dreamlike reality, the ÉXTASIS capsule invites us on an inner journey through a microdose of beauty and an overdose of symbolism.
