DIVKA

“Pattern” – this is Divka’s collection’s theme. The word “pattern” has multiple meanings: Sewing patterns for jackets, for instance, and design patterns, not to mention people’s behavioral patterns. And we have focused on the fact that design patterns are created through accumulation of time. Pattern – It is a standard which, through everflowing time, has been continuously improved by people after people. In this collection we thought outside the box and targeted to go beyond the pattern, to create something cutting-edge. In order to do so, we needed to start the process from a different perspective. We needed to set aside history a bit. Mapping unexpected accidents – this is indeed the method of creation we have chosen. In the midst of so-called accidents, we broke a number of rules in desiging clothes. toiling with a piece of cut-out fabric leftover / making a drape-decked dress from a single pattern / capturing caleidoscope of images without coherence as one picture / decoding a single design pattern in fine particles of reflected light. Through various experiments we have aimed to　create undiscovered design patterns, shapes, and colors, that is, a whole new pattern. Divka is seeking to create clothes that are unknown to even ourselves.
