concept

Every outfit in this collection represents a snapshot, an instant photograph of a captured moment. The initial assumption is that capturing the moment, the actual instant, is incredibly difficult for the mind. The moment we look at something it is already changing, sometimes imperceptibly. Nevetheless, all is in movement and our mind's sequence of thoughts during observations of daily life is imperceptibly modifying what it observes, in a repetition of shifts which can twist the reality of a single object, making it different, then similar and viceversa. Some of the outfits are an actual construction of movable panels intended to represent these shifts, these subtle changes in visual perception. An (impossible?) attempt to trap the unstoppable flow of time.
