Diamonds Renaissance
Pattern and Time
An exploration of historical fashion through contemporary medium. This piece transforms reclaimed sewing pattern paper into a Renaissance-inspired dress silhouette, honouring the craft of dressmaking across centuries. The geometric diamond design adorning the bodice is preserved from the original sewing pattern, cleverly repurposed to create a crown-like embellishment reminiscent of royal Renaissance attire.
The natural and subtly dyed paper retains traces of its original purpose while being elevated through origami techniques, creating a dialogue between traditional garment construction and modern paper art. The textured folds of the voluminous skirt capture the sumptuous fabric draping characteristic of the period, while celebrating the inherent beauty of the pattern paper's markings and gentle hues.
