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.

REETA EL KHOURY

Dependence 

Titled ‘Dependence’, this collection was inspired by the Pedro Almodovar film, "What Have I Done to Deserve This?" The film revolves around Gloria, a housewife residing in a cramped apartment with her husband Antonio, mother-in-law, and two teenage sons. A family consumed by the pursuit of wealth, Gloria grapples with dependencies on money, pills, and cleanliness. In denim, poplin, pvc, and Jacquard, the collection vividly portrays Gloria's addictions, using contrasting fabrics in patchwork to highlight the dichotomy she faces in confronting the two sides of her struggles. The collection is adorned with lining hand-stuffed with colorful pills.

This collection celebrates Amazigh culture, known for its women-lead nature that amplifies the dual roles of women as warriors and caretakers. Triangles, which are an important symbol for the Amazigh, representing the womb, are prominent in the collection, first hand drawn and then digitized on net fabric. The perception of women in dual roles is expressed through the use of tough fabrics such as denim in juxtaposition with soft fabrics like net, as well as two different embroidery techniques, hand and machine.
