A surreal way

The body, while retaining the ‘dessous’ that sculpts its silhouette (traditionally an integrated part of the structure of a Couture dress), moves away from the garment.

And the dress, while retaining its idealized shape, antagonizes, alienates and frees itself from the body in a surreal way.

In close collaboration with Hans Boodt Mannequins, lightweight 3D-printed structures were crafted to realize the gravity-defying optical illusions.

The collaboration merges traditional and new techniques into bespoke ways of designing.

Gowns embellished with crystals from Swarovski® are evocative of the grandiose atmosphere of the mid-20th century.

Models take the runway in Christian Louboutin encrusted mesh and satin stilettos, complementing the pastelcoloured constructions of this season.
