SAFRANINE
Perperam Sensa is a pret-a-porter collection inspired by the universal inability of humans to accurately understand and relate their bodily proportions without the use of quantitative tools. Colored by the psychological underpinnings of this phenomenon, these designs employ the manipulation of conventional patterning methods in an exploration of the discrepancy between perception and reality.
