Alexandra Moura brought out his latest FW15/16 looks in the recently held London Fashion Week. He has some unique concept and approach to his designing his collection which can be described in in his own words .
TO INVERT
“And suddenly life turns inside out…and I find that the wrong side is the right sideâ€
The collection is composed by exercises of constructing and deconstructing but also by the subtle behavior of materials, its finishings and details.
The body – the whole or partially – becomes the main stimulus for sketching and shape research.
Once again, the duality’s universe is powered by the intentional opposition of the following concepts:
Interior – exterior
Right side – wrong side
Part – whole
Assemble – disassemble
To do – to undo
To subtract – to add
SILHOUETTE/ DETAILS
The set of actions of deconstruction applied to the constructive process of the garment builds the silhouette of this collection – pause, reversal/inversion and subversion amplify the perception of construction and shape.
This is materialized in:
Asymmetries (of organic and irregular nature);
Overlaying;
Transparencies (exposition, interior/structure visualization);
Elastics (intentional construction detail);
Inversions (right side/wrong side of fabrics)
FABRICS:
Besides denim he uses cotton, neopren, linen, silk, fleece and microfibre.
