Sleeping beauty

technical description

Dress in cotton fabric treated with natural soil to create a decay pattern on the textile surface of the corset. Hand-pleating technique on the front inspired by Madame Grès. Back closure in hospital gown style, hand-stitched red thread, hand-painted edges of the corset, hand-embroidered lace at the front, candle-burned dress hemline creating a dramatic effect.

concept

The fairytale of Sleeping Beauty, horror movies, work of Madame Grès and sculptures by Pablo Atchugarry, distilled in a collection about the idea of deference. Designer Marius Janusauskas depicts the story of a perfectly passive woman who remains motionless throughout an era. Her vital colours are vanishing. She is turning into an undead. The only sign of life is her blood, running through the stitches of her garments. She is trapped in time. Time pleated into the front of her clothes. Her back is cold, minimal, clinical.
