Introducing Coalescaremonium

Coalescaremonium first edition logoAs a grand new event in Belgium’s Gothic nightlife with myself as one of its major organizers and hosts, Coalescaremonium seeks to unite people from the variety of local underground scenes into a unique celebration of music and arts, with of course a special place reserved just for fashion and photography. www.coalescaremonium.info

Following the derived pattern, a single lay-over of sturdy but flexible canvas makes the padding-construction impenetrably strong while keeping it light. Straight strips of the same interfacing reinforce the underside, by strengthening the outer edge and, after a long travail of by-the-sense-fixing handwork, bending the corner-points outwards, locking in aerodynamic curves to create armor that is both visually appealing and practical.

Special Meeting
