The first of this year’s new experiments is this pleated design for an elegant, yet manly wrap-skirt, to be made from one continuous piece of fabric and brought to shape by the insertion of a mathematical series of folds that are partially sewn-in to open at gradually lower lengths; condensing the seamless wide flow in an almost musical manner, leading a rhythm-guided way to the flat-falling front and back sides; all held in place by a slanting waistguard that carries a double buckle belt construction for closing.

A raglan-cut stretchy longsleeve that bolsters rising seams that are worked in to its carmine velveteen, adding tailoring while including a ruffle-tape trim, accentuating the formed shapes, mimicking those of the Red Shirt.

Casting off the massive cloth from the Scarlet Cape leaves a collared capeline, which holds the bronze rings connecting the bonds that are now free to rest under the arms, revealing an intricate dance-outfit on the go.

The Scarlet Cape, one of the first pieces I ever started working on, underwent enormous updates for 2011, now concluding with it exhibiting a fierce vampire’s collar and confining bonds trailing down its lavish sides.
