CORPUS IN CLAUSTRUM
March 2014 - Lisbon Fashion Week
An uncanny likeness of intimate closure
A womenswear collection where both the clothing and accessories simulate a theatrical ambiance, emphasizing the suggested optical effect with a sequence of lines that, bizarrely interact, provoking sensations and anxieties that lead us to incarcerate thoughts and attitudes.
By manipulating lines and shapes, Corpus In Claustrum illustrates the relationship between the body and the container. It celebrates the marriage of sturdy metallic structures on delicate satin-covered bodies and, once these bipolar elements meet, arises the uncanny likeness of intimate closure.
