LACE BLOUSE — BLOOM

An A-line silhouette that widens from the shoulder to the hem. The ease of the tunic length turns the sway of the fabric directly into movement. Original buttons in irregular shapes bring instinct to the strict grammar of a shirt. A vertical slit at the back lets the cloth move softly each time you raise an arm or turn to look behind you. Not a calculated design, but a device that lets expression arise from the body’s own gestures. Not too composed — that is the structural will of this shirt. -Material- A sheer fabric in 100% polyester. A regular nap rising on the surface shifts its expression with the angle of the light. Even at a distance, textured up close, with the shadow of the stripe seeming to dissolve into it. Highly stable in shape, it holds through movement. And still the soft sway the material carries lends lightness to the silhouette. Woven in the modern language of function, its surface stays ambiguous and poetic. You can wear a delicacy that looks as if it might come apart at a touch, because the texture is eloquent. -Voice- Picasso’s stripes were always clear. Lines drawn with a definite outline, with will. But Èaphi took that question in another direction —— what if the stripe blurred. What if the line dissolved into the material. What remains when clarity is let go. The stripes on this shirt look visible, yet cannot be grasped. That is the answer.
