This collection was made in collaboration with the textile designer Cinert Ainoc. We took the inspiration for this collection from her illustrations. the illustration had tribal and organic elements in metallic colours . The main challenge in the designing process was where to place the silk-print and the degree of repetition in relation to the cut and the figure. Some of the prints look like jewelry right on top of the dresses, and others cover the entire canvas but “tailored” on the body (cut) , with a clear reference to the musculoskeletal system of the human body . The silk prints are made by hand, and over the prints I created a precise handmade embroidery made from fine slender metals galvanized in gold and silver. the combinations with the Swarovski stones give a touch of glam and add another dimension to the design.
