NOUR CHAMSEDDINE

The Core of Being 

Inspired by the cinematic narrative of Almodovar's "The Skin I Live In," this collection, titled ‘The Core of Being’, disrupts conventional fashion norms, embodying the intricate journey of unraveling human identity. While the garments radiate femininity, when worn on a masculine form, a transformative narrative emerges, challenging perceptions and urging a reevaluation of established gender norms. Going beyond mere aesthetics, this collection purposefully delves into the authentic layers of identity beneath the surface. A conscious departure from the ordinary, it commands attention and encourages a fresh perspective at the intersection of fashion and identity. The collection relies on neutral colors such as brown, beige and nude for its palette, allowing patterns to lead the design process, resulting in malleable, dynamic pieces predominantly in jersey and gabardine fabrics. 

The Embossed Coat

PATILE TACHJIAN

Isometric odyssey     

This collection draws inspiration from the video game "Lost in Random," which features a captivating world divided into six unique realms. Onecroft, the most impoverished realm, sustains itself by salvaging discarded materials from other worlds. In stark contrast, Sixtopia, the opulent realm ruled by the queen, boasts a lavish environment constructed entirely of crystals. The design concept of this collection aims to illuminate social inequality and poverty through intricate details and textile manipulation. Drawing from the game's casino-themed components, such as the cardmaker's world, the gambler's world, and card-based betting, these elements are integrated into the textile manipulation using Shibori, embossing, dyeing, gathering, and applique. Additionally, the ornate baroque engravings found in the game underwent a contemporary reinterpretation. The traditional knight archetype was modernized, transforming it into a novel and innovative design element within the collection.
