PRINTED DRESS — LIGNE

The pattern is broken up in several places, so the piece suggests movement even at rest. The shape builds on forms Èaphi has worked with before, with slight darts at the waist to emphasize the dimension and line of the whole. Panel seams front and back set the pattern into rhythm, finishing a piece that sways softly with each step, like a work of art. -Voice- The rounded silhouette reads like a dimensional artwork drawn on a single canvas. Why break the pattern in places rather than reproduce it as it is —— perhaps true beauty lives in the space between order and chance. A suppleness that answers movement changes the view with every step, drawing out a new expression.
