Decoration

Decorated Arch Down Skirt

Sometimes a piece isn’t striking enough to charm on first impression. Adding decoration to highlight design characteristics (instead of hiding the flaws) can effectively remedy such situation, though it comes at a cost.

Shown here is the altered Arch Down Skirt, enhanced with red leather trim, following not just the seams, but pressed against the barrier between heavy and lightweight suede, thus emphasizing a from the design emanating shape, returning, with it’s high contrast in color, an effect more suggestive to the industrial/cyber scene, but also covering up the impeccable work that went into making it.

 

 

 

Patchwork

The connection of four curved pieces into a single spot is something that takes both patience and precision.

Esoteric Pilgrimage

 

The proverbial path to Leipzig’s lone Kohlrabizurkus, starting from the tram-stop, traversed rather hurriedly hoping to escape the skies and make it into the venue well in time for witnessing a first Draconian concert.

Assemblage

Assembling the Grey Blouse

Putting together the separately produced components of the Grey Blouse shows real promise of what the final result will look like.

The sleeves are finished and ready to be joined, the collar needs minor adjustment before it can be stitched on, the side-naps in the blouse’s body work marvelously well, and with a matching undershirt (for preventing see-through color-differentiation) in production, this original item may soon move on to its finishing touches.

 

 

 

 

Buying Fabrics (velvets)

Rejoicing the fortunate arrival of the long besought thick-thread velvets, heavy and glossy, unrolled and photographed along with the facing and interfacings, employed for constructing 2011′s “Mystery Project“.
