Where couture is the art of developing a second skin to encapsulate the body in perfect fit, and deviating from that thought in a variety of stylistic aberrations, it is apprehendable, yet not less remarkable just how evocative a single snapshot from the assemblage process can turn out.

Traversing fabric markets, checking discerning dealers for materials suiting the items on my mind, gathering ideas, samples and contacts sustaining future compositions while exploring a bit of Unique cityscape.

With the particular shade of green I envisioned to use for the shirt being so unfindable in a sturdy satin, I came to investigate the possibility of combining a beautifully textured yet slightly darker polyester-veil onto a common tafeta lining, and proceed to use them as a single material, portraying the perfect color with an unseen raw texture, exploiting the lower-layer’s rigor for forming the standing layers in the meanwhile.

The first of 2012′s pieces I’ll get started on is a cross-section of archetypal early-18th and late-19th-century men’s frock coats, featuring diagonally cut pieces providing extensive flow on the hips, while being tailored fittingly around chest and waist.
Nudging towards higher couture, is the augmentation with shoulder-pieces continuing side and sleeve seam onto a prolific lapel-less collar, demanding the knee-length coat to be worn open, giving leeway to its volume.
This freedom of movement, aggrandized by a with volant finished split in the coat central back back-seam, is copied onto the sleeve, converging in a more contemporary sense of unity, much like the augmentation of the coat with an optionally insertable gilet-closure presenting the opportunity for a more reserved look.

Having obtained original versions of the earlierly showcased pictures, I decided to polish them up a little and re-uploaded them in a higher resolution in order to maintain a stronger sense of unity throughout the gallery page, filling up the foreseen slots with images depicting the fabricated outfits on location, captured by various festival photographers, given credit in the file descriptions.
Suplementing those, I added some products of my own, limited, efforts in photography, created taking a brief moment out of a busy day’s schedule to try and deliver a more encompassing portrayal of the works, as distinct from the less-prolific on-the-spot snapshots, displaying befriended people, make-up close-ups or general silliness, my facebook page will pretty soon be a host to.
