WGT 2012 Secondary Outfits

The mock-ups for the following series of secondary outfits show the continuation of the line’s characteristics in being waist-centered two-piece ensembles, new for the upcoming year, however, is the visibly sequential progression throughout the five days by snug fits making way for wider or lower hemlines, colors becoming brighter and manifesting in growing appearance-ratios, and naked skin slowly trying to unveil itself , just to become shaded by higher opacity materials, making the last outfit become a full circle negative of the first.

The Wrist Guards are mid-arm bracers that extend to cover the lower part of the hand without singling out the thumb, supporting secure grasp and full freedom of movement by curving along the hand-palm towards the inner underarm where they connect into an elastic lacing providing easy mounting and closing purposes.

Marquis Coat

Marquis Coat sketchThe first of 2012′s pieces I’ll get started on is a cross-section of archetypal early-18th and late-19th-century men’s frock coats, featuring diagonally cut pieces providing extensive flow on the hips, while being tailored fittingly around chest and waist.

Nudging towards higher couture, is the augmentation with shoulder-pieces continuing side and sleeve seam onto a prolific lapel-less collar, demanding the knee-length coat to be worn open, giving leeway to its volume.

This freedom of movement, aggrandized by a with volant finished split in the coat central back back-seam, is copied onto the sleeve, converging in a more contemporary sense of unity, much like the augmentation of the coat with an optionally insertable gilet-closure presenting the opportunity for a more reserved look.

A tight-fitting blouse contrived from leftover stretch-silk with quality lining forming the back, augmented as an individual piece while created as a supportive layer under the Gray Blouse in order to prevent skintone diffusion in single-layer areas.

The Green Shirt sketch
On tracking back to pieces developed in 2010, I drew a new technical mock-up of the secondary design called the “Green Shirt”, a classical yet youthfully modernistic short-chemise featuring a play of 3cm-wide leap-layers, one horizontally traversing the back, two diagonally meeting in the front, four vertically overpassing the previous ones, delineating the sleeve and tailoring the shirt whilst traversing downward onto the hem in a composure slightly reminiscent of suspenders.

Repeating this image with more sets of three of such horizontal layers adorning the sleeve, all are secured with stitchings to ascertain a contemporary feel together with the timeless standing cuffs and collar, in this particular piece engraced with bow-tied ribbons for binding.
