REVISITATION
REVISITATION // From one to several
The main focus of this project is to revisit the classic codes of the suit, to create garments that can be worn in different ways. The first study was applied to the collar of the jacket: I tried to study different ways of positioning the jacket on the body and worked on the pattern to create a “versatile jacket”: in this first case, the collar can be a classic “Italian collar”, a variation of the officier collar, the rever can be positioned in a conventional way, or crossed in the front, it can be worn as a scarf et so on. One suit can became several suits in the same time. Nothing is irreversible, nothing is static, but it becomes what the wearer wants.

REVISITATION// The fencing jacket One of the classic tailor pieces that have been revisited in the collection is the fencing jacket, characterised by its double-breasted buttoning and its usually body-hugging shape. The special feature of this jacket is that it was one of the first suit pieces also used by women. The typical quilted fabric was replaced by a woollen fabric, to give a more elegant air, while keeping the typical features of a sports jacket.
TRENCH COAT
REVISITATION// Cutting out From one piece to two separate pieces. From a trench coat to a skirt and a short jacket. This piece loses its code of a long jacket and becomes two compatible (but not obligatory) parts of the same outfit.The trench coat was definitely the most important piece in terms of the 3D study for this collection: I started by disassembling some vintage trench coats bought in some second-hand shops in Paris, trying to preserve only what was necessary and eliminating all the superfluous elements. The result was a garment that gives the idea of being suspended in the void, this effect is given by the clean cut between the upper and lower part of the garment.
PATTERN MANIPULATION// Find a new placement to old attributes During my time at Atelier Chardon Savard, I had the time to study patterns, usually starting with a few vintage garments that I would take apart and re-pattern. Very often, at the time of disassembly, I tried to change the position of some attributes in the garment. From here began the long process of pattern making, to retrace the new pieces. Here on the side, a front of the “X” trench coat.
THE STAIN

FROM PAPER TO THE FABRIC I was inspired by some of Gerard Ritcher’s artwork for my textile research. I worked with acrylics to create random stains, reworked them in Photoshop and then made them into patterns.

RESINE
TRASLATION // From glass to resin Taking inspiration from si Venini and Dino Martens vases, I looked for a material that I could work to create the accessories for this project. The resin gives the possibility to wcrystallize shapes and colors, creating objects that give the impression of being crystallized. I searched for my trait, my design and the colors related to me. The accessories give the impression of being worn while they are worn.
