The Modern Fold
Sculpted Manipulation - Off the Body
Context:
Feminine minimalism
Body shape alienation
The new fold: a modern androgynous generation
Shape:
Masculine silhouette with feminine fabrics
Bold distortions and twists, rigid shaping
Architectural men’s style silhouette with tailored shapes
Symmetrical into a subtle asymmetrical
Folding and unfolding sharply and reveallingly
Geometric shapes juxtaposed with organic influences
Textures / Materials:
Androgynistic feminine presence,
Elegant and smooth, invigorating combinations
Spontaneous layering.
Fabrics hold affluence and substance;
Inside and outside context
Print Development:
Graphic blurring lines and layers illusion
Rippled shine and the crossing of lines
Placement collages with aspects of sexuality
Knit Direction:
Repeptitive hairy hedonistic satire
Masculine yet feminine
Points of induction where organic rows are rippling
Colours:
Washed out
Dark shades used for definition/detail
Accent colours bring chills and warmth in accent.
Shine will give the collection lavish highlights
Minimalistic representation.
