Metamorphosis

The collection explored the transformation of a two-dimensional garment which becomes three-dimensional on the human body. During the presentation, while men in white lab-coats held up the clothes on hanger, the video was projected on five towers covered with white cotton cloth. Ten items from the collection were presented through 10 film sequences of 1 minute each. It showed images of women – neck-down – wearing the clothes, preceded by text descriptions like: “the shoulder line of these garments has been brought totally forward onto their front.”
