“Origami” shirt. Blouse in two-layer tubolar nylon tulle, open on top and bottom ends. Pleating and laser cutting for extra volume. Facy upper edge, simple lower one. Specific nylon stitching, equally functional and exquisite at the waist, perfectly succinct along the top. When worn, a bellows effect is visible in the sleeve area. Two small inside loops (front and back) linking thanks to clear press buttons enable the insertion of arms. Fine laserwork creates a stunning downward degradé diamond and circle motif on the tulle, while the upper edging features a series of long, pointed elements. The secret behind the sculptural volumes lies in the choice of fabrics and the relative working processes. The sheer tulle and à-jour type edging award a lovely ethereal quality, whereas the rigid plisse tulle adds distinct structural value. Minus all standards, the blouse finds a classic expression exclusively in the macro ruff collar. Ultimately, the design pivots on technical experimentation and artistic research.
