A small series of photographs displaying Monday’s Outfits, re-tuned for celebrating the last long WGT night, honouring the feudal bastille‘s harsh dancefloor atmosphere through a matching equilibrium in fashionwear.

As an extra idiosyncratic facet, the cape’s large masses may be shed off, leaving the capeline to allowing its bindings their full fall onto accentuating a tailored torso, enabling full freedom of bodily movement whilst continuing to uphold the same draconian shade in senseless manifestation.

The result, personalized with a shoulder-construction analogues to the Floorvest‘s, ought to be compatible with a multitude of styles, as well as easily augmentable with future additions.

Starring a floor-length leather coat, built around a twelve-piece, with rings and straps decorated, bodice, enabling fitting snugly while producing a massive broadness falling down the legs, instantly setting the overall appearance of the outfit, maintained by the likewise decorated three-piece tailored sleeves rounded off in a point covering the lower hand; this coat is worn open, restrained only by a central closure-chain exposing a mere strip of skin.
The undergarments continue the trend by being limited to a set of wide leather pants and elbow-length button-closed gloves, only visible through the subtle opening of the coat, yet enough for allowing vision of the bare chest to reach up to the throat where the coat’s standing neck-tie connects the ferocious grey-fur collar covering most of the upper chest and shoulders.
Topped off by a most enchantingly forged crown, dispersing a fragmented mirror glow, reflected by the glossed-plate girdle and majestic pair of silver rings, the outfit’s condensed appearance is reimbursed by the headpiece elevating beset the already confrontative ivory horns whilst retaining the voluptuous blue shaded hair to reveal large portions of the face, imbued with dark-blue shades delineating the deep purple eyes.

Paris, Halloween’s eve…. a setting, perfect for apraising the still developing Monday outfits at the windmill, with the decor of our charming art-nouveau hotel just a little too remindful of that certain elevator scene.

Flaunting the first of these resources; an enticing scarlet velour, is a wide majestic floor-length cape, augmented with a bolstering shoulder base supporting a high standing collar, whilst having divergent bonds swaying from it, showing off the fabric’s potency in sheer abundance.
Only in the highest contrast do we uncover the next substance in the obsidian leather gear underneath, consisting of a tight top, pants, straps, bracers, choker and a long layered skirt falling wide open through movement, nearly grasping the cape in span.
The outfit’s final featured matter incorporates the various armor pieces in brushed brass, consisting out of conceited cape-mounted spaulders, a robust mouth mask, glove-emerging claw fingers and a variety of significants in closures and clasps, making its transcendental return in crude aurulent rings enclosing tall horns, iconically reaching upwards.

The cardinal piece from the Architecturewear project, adjusted with crimson brocade enhancing front and rear Gothic windows in perfect godet.

Proceedings: concept – fabric – trim – workings – footage – diligence

Getting back to the notion of incorporating different shapes of horns into each primary outfit for this year’s WGT festival, I made this sketch-up to depict the evolution of size and directional placement throughout the five days.

As a token of appreciation towards my readers I would like to have this post introduce the newest category by being the first full-fledged tutorial, delivering home-printable patterns with in-depth sewing directions sharing my design for a sew-on pocket capable of turning any garment into something outspokenly darker.
