Shortly after the WGT I came across the ideal material for fabricating a coat I had long had in mind, a shiny black velour, adequately firm in body, yet flexible enough to (when cut generously) fall in continual godet; a perfect suitor provided there had been more of it than the 2.2 meters that was left on the roll.

Left unwilling to let this one pass by though, once the patterns were drawn, I started looking for a befitting fabric to supplement the velour in accent pieces, bringing in the sense of duality conform to secondary garments, which led me to an exquisite wool-cashmere to bequeath its own characteristics onto the coat.

For the upcoming winter’s collection has now arrived, permitting me to leaf through the delightfully fresh stock and obtain some of the less encounterable fabrics I had been looking for.

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.
