| DESIGN NAME: Karl PRIMARY FUNCTION: Collar-Necklace INSPIRATION: Last year I made cuff-bracelets inspired with Fred Astaire. The idea about making the collar was born at the same moment. It is inspired by Karl Lagerfeld, his upright and elegant figure and unavoidable collar. It took me more than a year to find the most appropriate size and shape. Now the cuffs and the collar make a perfect, noble combination. UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: In the history of costume, there were different types of collars. Some were detachable; most of them were stiffened by starch. This collar – necklace is made out of light PVC plastic. In spite of its size it is very light and comfortable. It can also be worn with pearls or a bow. The size and the stiffness of the collar give certain elegance to a neck line. The posture of the body becomes more upright and that gives an impression of self-confidence. This collar is homage to Karl Lagerfeld, his work and enormous contribution to fashion. OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION: This collar necklace does not have any clasps, it is flexible and thus can easily be put around the neck. It is folded around the neck so the edges are smooth and confortable for wearing. PROJECT DURATION AND LOCATION: I was drawing, projecting, making prototipes for a year and a half in my studio in Zagreb, Croatia FITS BEST INTO CATEGORY: Fashion, Apparel and Garment Design |
PRODUCTION / REALIZATION TECHNOLOGY: This collar is made out of very light, 3 mm thick PVC plastic. I was experimenting with different sizes and shapes for more than a year. Sometimes I was so discouraged that I left my project for weeks. My main concern was to avoid any similarities between this collar and the Schanz collar.Eventually, I think that I have succeeded. SPECIFICATIONS / TECHNICAL PROPERTIES: this collar is 8 cm high, 23 cm wide and 33 cm long TAGS: collar, fashion, accessories, necklace, white RESEARCH ABSTRACT: I was studying different types of collars throughout the history of costume, their shapes and sizes. In spite of the fact that I wanted to make this type of collar, I wanted to get aquainted with the ground principle of the collar itself. I was drawing, projecting, making prototypes out of paper, cardboard, textile... and eventually PVC which gives different possibilities of shaping the form in the more sculptural way. CHALLENGE: The hardest part was to find the right size and to form it in a shape confortable for wearing.
