concept
The initial inspiration for this collection was The Picture of Dorian Gray, in which Oscar Wilde focused on vanity, attraction, beauty and power, themes that are all essential aspects of the fashion industry. Marcus Wilmont fused traditional European tailoring with details and shapes from the Eastern tradition, including his own personal heritage. Aristocracy, eccentricity and power are all present in his outfits, captured in a sensual design. Fine wools, leather and silks are mixed with details made with exotic materials like horsehair, metallic embroidery threads, embossed heraldry and antique buttons. These garments were developed as exclusive and eccentric clothes for the high-end market. Quality was paramount and the design had to be thought through in-depth.
