The Slanted Jacket

Posted by on April 27, 2011 5 comments

Devoid of side-seams, the fabric to be used for this waist-jacket will have it’s weft aligned with the (missing) sideline, making it fall in partial bias towards the front and central-back-seam, exhibiting, with an appropriate choice of fiber, a sideways diverging look.

More perceptible, however, might be the extravagant hemline presented by both body and sleeves, traversing downwards in a motion concave in the front, yet ending  cuspy in the back.

Adorning this effect, while supplying a sense of changeability are the invisible zippers mounted in the jacket’s sleeves, going up all the way through the shoulder-line, making them, just like the jacket itself, able to be worn open or closed.

The proverbial path to Leipzig’s lone Kohlrabizurkus, starting from the tram-stop, traversed rather hurriedly hoping to escape the skies and make it into the venue well in time for witnessing a first Draconian concert.

Saturday's Primary Outfit

Authentically Dark Gothic, Saturday’s primary outfit consolidates around an enormous black cuir-satin cape, exhibiting front and rear arched windows stagnating up to the high standing collar, one revealing an alluring red-black mosaic, the other giving light to an artpiece on it’s own: a carmine silk shirt composed from bundles of graceful flow-lines.
Layering blending shades of red hair onto the cape are burgundy and maroon long-pelt shoulder-coverings sided by the wine-shaded traversing-layer haircut (itself suggestive to the shape of a sideways gothic window), all detracting from the cape’s collar, the ensemble’s main focal point.
Topping off the outfit is a fifteen-cornered tall-hat, towering in between backwards leaning horns able to pierce through congruous outlets in the sides of this from both satin and leather substance constructed headpiece.

Saturday’s Secondary Outfit

Saturday's Secondary Outfit

The first concept for the second chapter of this blog shows the most androgynous of my outfits, taking an altered version of the Arch-Down Skirt as its base to form a layer of non-woven black-shaded garments over rouge underclothes.
The suede skirt is strung and decorated with red leather-string and will receive matching lining, setting the tone for the underlying-color of the outfit, brought forth by the dark-red long-sleeved jersey blouse. covered by a black cat-skin-like velours jacket featuring curved hemlines edging front- and sleeve-zippers.
A matching glossy top layer added to the curve-skirt making it truly an antonym to the Architecturewear-project as promoted in the day’s primary composition.
To further highlight this diversion a secondary pocket-watch is hung into a chain construction, accessorising the outfit, together with constructions made from black ostrich-feather enriching the wrists and neckline, culminating in a figurative crown adorning the long carmine hair.

The Arch Down Skirt

Developed simultaneously with the Architecturewear project, this secondary line item came together from combining originally rejected ideas into a refined individual  piece, acceding to the project’s aspects whilst oposing it’s emanations.

Arch Down Skirt Sketch

As a study of flow and weight distribution, this skirt takes two forms of the same fabric, one heavy, the other light and supple, and couples them in a downwards arc, starting from an open triangular-cut piece in the front, cummulating in a firm trailing back-panel.

This post-drawn sketch shows the Arch Down Skirt’s composition with it’s optional stringing meant to hold the piece in a continuous fluctuation.
