DARK V.S. LIGHT.
WOMENSWEAR.
2019.
Tailored piece inspired by the light and dark of Renaissance art and architecture. I created a tailored one shouldered jacket with three lapels. Then there is a power mesh turtleneck underdress scattered with a pattern I created of Renaissance ceiling art. The jacket expresses the darkness of then deep meanings of these Renaissance paintings and the brighter lapels and underdress reflect the visual light coming from these works.
I also created this piece for my CFDA collection. My inspiration was the dark and light of Renaissance art however, I also connected it to the dark and light of the fashion industry when it comes to sizing. As you can see I created this piece for a "unconventional" body type. This project was made to focus on the fact that the industry only focuses on one body type and not the 10's of others there are.
Jacket made with 100% wool. Underdress made of power mesh.
