| If - Long we have roamed through the cosmos, travelled around the galaxy, searched for stardust and teased Zeus and Chaos. Finally - Having escaped from the Great Elsewhere, survived the Turbulence, but still transported by Love and filled with Passion, we have returned to earth to avoid meteorites and gather our scattered fragments. Henceforth - Feet firmly fixed on the ground, we immerse ourselves in the energy of the Matière Première. |
 |
The second is the letter B B - like Béton [concrete]/Beauté [beauty] B - like Bois [wood]/Bauxite/Brique [brick] |

| Pioneers, heading towards the immediate or very distant future, we will transform the Matière Première to magnify it or divert it from its primary function.It becomes the object of unreasonable marriages, shady pairings, and improbable osmoses; between scratchy leather and downy wool, between the simple aluminium sheet and opulent nappa, between damp rubber and sumptuous Zibeline. |
 |
The third is the letter C C - like Carton [cardboard]/Cellophane C - like Cuir [leather]/Cacao [cocoa] C - like Canaille [rascal] |

| Inspired by philosophers, for whom the Matière Première is an object, we take possession of the object “Letter”. This allows us to transform the material“Thought” into signs and thus into words. The letters of the alphabet will therefore guide us inour search for the Matières Premières of Winter 14-15. |

And the fourth is the letter Y Y - like Yin like Yang |
