CHAPTER 02
At the core of reading lies an existential thread, anchoring the essence of meaning-making and the anticipation of the next chapter; Chapter 02 reflects this facet by inviting the wearer to delve deeper into the recesses of their soul – a kernel of solace and illumination.
Embodying the essence of clothed cognition to inspire a new interpretation, wherein, the way a piece of clothing feels is paramount, Chapter 02 is tailored for those seeking comfort in the tapestry of thought. As in the quiet of thought, a filament of imagination transforms into creative pursuits. Finding its impulse in the all-inclusive nature of a modular wardrobe, a timeless expression defined by the unison of consciously made separates from a single fabric, this collection converges intelligent design with the aspect of contemplation. For, one’s preferred garments are also reflective of their innermost thoughts and desires.
Exaggeration plays a pivotal role in this collection, marked by big collars, pockets, hemlines, and detailing on the cuff of the sleeves. Rooted in the notion of affluence post-World War II, the concept of exaggeration also abridges the realms of unfamiliarity with functionality to deconstruct the conventional proportions to curate a Dori proportion of clothes. With a heavy focus on how a piece of clothing feels, this collection continues Chapter 01 of Dori Clothing to blend form with function. Each garment in this collection is enveloped in the facet of emotional resonance and its emergence into something palpable.
CHAPTER 01
Synthesis is an expression that goes beyond seams to integrate the harmony found in furniture design with Dori Clothing's quest to find beauty in its purest form. It is an intricate fusion of timeless elements to blur the lines between movable and wearable pieces with fine craftsmanship.
Carrying the congruity and stability from furniture to garments this collection is a canvas that makes for the meeting point of functionality and artistry to open new stylistic paths. In the tapestry of Synthesis, the echoes of the Bauhaus Movement communicate the fluidity of form and purpose, akin to Marcel Breuer's Wassily Chair. Rounded edges in collars, cuffs, and pockets, convey this underlying notion; a symbolic brushstroke of life's continuum.
Mirroring the mosaic of wood are coats and trousers; signifying resilience and stability they add an element of visual intrigue while our knitwear, developed on a flatbed loom using lamb's wool yarn, reflects the pine wood patterns. It's a sonnet of ethereality where the craftsmanship is analogous to how each part of furniture is perfected to its finest detail in carpentry, before being assembled into a seamless whole. A consonance of stability, simplicity, and resilience in the embrace of the finest fabrics, Synthesis is a sentinel of elevated craftsmanship, breathing Bauhaus wisdom to every stitch and seam.
