concept

‘I feel so queer, don’t you ever get taken that way? When I can’t see myself I begin to wonder if I really and truly exist. I pat myself just to make sure, but it doesn’t help much’. Estelle from ‘No Exit’ - Jean Paul Sartre.
With traces of Jacques Lacan’s “Mirror Stage” and the idea that our mirror image completes our identity. 
The outfits develop through the reflection of their own image. By wisely using mirrors both as tools of reflection and as architectural / aesthetic elements, missing parts are added and existing parts are doubled to create the final complete looks.
