APPROXIMATIONS TO THE ACROBATIS OF FLESH / MA SST
The project proposes garments as an intimate field in which to explore the liminal boundaries
connecting subjects, bodies, and space.
Abstract, sculptural forms emerge from engraved, cut leather, generating unexpected shapes beyond the designer ́s co
ntrol. These volumes are traced and transplanted into archetypical garments through experimental pattern drafting techniques. The sensitivity of pattern drafting —where even minor changes reshape the whole— leads to ongoing iterations that alter both the garment and its relationship to the body. The focus is on the process of making: from deadstock materials to an abstract anatomy in a continuous state of becoming.
Abstraction becomes a unifying tool. By disrupting traditional silhouettes, the rigid signs and
meanings attached to garments and bodies are blurred. Through this, craft evolves into a
language for a new subjectivity. The project speculates on an alternative engagement with
fashion — through the intimacy of the unstable body, an abstract space of connectivity.
