| DESIGN NAME: Gilda and Metamorphosis Collections PRIMARY FUNCTION: Beachwear & Fashion Collection INSPIRATION: Metamorphosis is a reinterpretation of an icon dress of the seventies: the wrap dress (“the dress that wraps”). The dress properly is the symbol of an epochal revolution, when women became aware of themselves, become strong, independent, confident and seductive. The wrap dress, in fact, is a versatile dress identity and may have different meanings, it adapts itself to the body that is wearing it, emphasizing the female figure, being a strong communicative and seductive tool. The pattern has a fundamental role in the icon, as well as in the icon's reinterpretation; one of the main innotive point is rappresented by the use of a different kind of drawing-construction UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: It is a capsule collection, the special feature is the handmade details and fine design for print and technologies used to create the designs. OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION: The collection is composed by a bikini, a long dress with cut detail in the back, a LBD dress. A dress differs from others because is made of laser cut leather and it's a convertible dress, infact it can be worn in 5 different ways: décolleté neckline with suede side, suede side neckline on the back side, the flesh side with the décolleté neckline, flesh side with neckline on the back. The dress can also be worn opened as coats, both sides. It's a dress created by the reinterpretation of dress icon: the Wrap Dress. To realize this kind of transformability and behind the reinterpretation, there is a great research of typical prints, technology, study of modeling. PROJECT DURATION AND LOCATION: The collection "Gilda & Metamorphosis" was designed and made in Milan by the Sardinian designer Francesca De Blasi for an international competition, SMAC Fashion Awards, held in Salerno. The shooting is been carried out by a team entirely composed from Sardinian people: fashion designer: FDB Design Francesca De Blasi, Model: Eleonora Boi, Photographer: Kalòs Photoart, MUA: Lipsteeck Queen Giorgia Scano, Hair stylist: Carlotta Pischedda, Cinematographer: Daniele De Muro. Location:Villa Siotto, Sarroch -Sardinia (Italy). FITS BEST INTO CATEGORY: Fashion, Apparel and Garment Design |
PRODUCTION / REALIZATION TECHNOLOGY: Part of the collection is made of tissue and embellished with iridescent organza petals and crystals Swarosvki. A garment is made of 100% leather cut with laser technology SPECIFICATIONS / TECHNICAL PROPERTIES: 1000mmx1000mmx1000mm TAGS: beachwear, fashion, design, Sardegna, Italy, Swarovski RESEARCH ABSTRACT: The research for Metamorphosis, the leather laser cut dress, has been first of all historical and social, being a reinterpretation of an icon dress (Wrap Dress). I made an historical and evolutionary analysis of the item, as it was born, in which context it was located and how it has changed over time. I keep the same shape, but I innovated the material, the jersey become a soft leather, and replacing the fabric design printed on with a new design made with the technique of laser cutting, I create a game of layers and levels, a game "of-I do not see", very sensual but always elegant. I moved the context and the customer target reference, making it a high-end luxury. Concerning Gilda, garments are embellished with handmade petals and Swarovski crystals, and the research was more historical and cinematographic, and the collection is inspired by the diva Rita Hayworth, the starring of the homonymous film. A sensual and elegant woman, and the contrast of black/white, light/dark are the main theme of this collection. CHALLENGE: The biggest hurdle was to set up the design laser cut leather on a single piece. I had to make a great study and research to ensure that it could be made and it was hard to find a company able to develop a prototype. For the other items the difficulty was the handmade creation of the petals of fabric and apply by hand one by one Swarovski crystals. It was a very time consuming action but it surely gives added value to the dresses.
