Nominee | Fashion | 2003
verso Zwischen Bild und Kleid
Materials are draped around the body and look like proper articles of clothing, but when they are spread out on the floor it becomes apparent that they are printed with giant digital photos of everyday objects which do not make us think of articles of clothing at all. These outsized object silhouettes are the actual patterns for the cut. A mobile string closure system makes it possible for these to be transformed into elegant garments. An intelligent play on shifting perceptions and the alternation between image and garment, reality and its appearance.
Comments of the nominators
An interesting mode of realising a thematic inspiration. Intelligent and complex realisation relating to garments as objects. The individual objects work well together to make an overall statement. AWARD Nominated for the Swiss Textile Design Award.
