ARCHITECTURAL_CLOTHES
DESCRIPTION:
The Armored Body. A review in the way the body can change. Looking for an escape in something that is designed for the self. An emphasis on structure of the body. The body offers us an opportunity to imagine new forms in clothing structure, to protect the human with a variation of garments, as garments need a body to become a pair. Both make a studied image and look, in which clothes suggest delineation in the human outline. Related body and cloth, but with control in structured design for protection.

ABOUT ME
Emphasizing in transforming the wearer in a sense of motion state, augmenting the resonance of strong silhouettes along with protection, to augment the outlines in body.
Basing on examination of geometry in clothing, the design line is focused on the garment construction, and senses a body-conscious design, favoring the rigidity and the masculine forms of male anatomy.
Attention on technical detail, structure and stitching. Mania for the craft and process of making an entire piece. Clothes that are sliced, fragmented in different layers of fabrics.
Intended to create all this in the boundaries where flesh meets the fabric and becomes a shelter for the body itself.
Innovation of utilitarian elements in clothing.
Hand-crafted, articulated structure. Finesse and fluid clothes.
