Staged Memory

Chronicle

With the first edition of Coalescaremonium already resting behind us, unnamed memories of its preparation days are starting to surface, like this picture; taken when examining the main room sound system, the stage dimensia and its various light configurations during the blurry last weeks before the mighty event took place.

For this special project I called upon my favorite jewelry designer at Ornamentum ex Medio who printed out my 3D model for me and turned it into a cast to transform the Opus Relinque logo into a wearable pendant.

Differential Meetings

Technics

Inserting flank piece into gothic cape.Cape design cut up into architectural pieces.

Due to the method by which the golden bias trim emerges from within the seamline to lay over the adjoining piece of fabric; gaining a symmetrical semblance when seamlines meet requires the correct calculation and incorporation of a hidden standoff, a tricky issue that re-manifests for each and every junction on the cape.

Shades of Black

Reflection

the different shades of black men's shirtsTaking a free moment as an occasion to properly wash and iron my collection of day-shirts; retracing the same system of seams that build up this most conventional of all garments whilst taking note of the diversity in fiber compositions and the different coloring methods that were used on them; making each of the shirts look regular on its own, yet when piled together showing vast variation of textures and tints, collectively considered under a common label of “black”; which provides me an appealing angle for the 2013 designs; to omit all color and transport this dark notion to its Gothic extremities by creating outfits that are wholly black while in no way bland.
