SUPREMA PELE - Drafting and pattern making: the brutalism and suprematism in fashion

Category: Apparel

The idea behind SUPREMA PELE is to explore the interrelation of brutalism and suprematism using fashion as the medium. The collection consists of four garments and was created based on Malevich’s painting Black Square and the origins of architectural philosophy. Pattern making as the main source of all creativity becomes evident in this project; just as every building starts with calculations and lines, each outfit is first constructed before being given an expression. Through techniques like moulage and working with leather, the project aims at showing the contrast between stiffness and flexibility. In contrast with concrete, leather is a dense but malleable fabric that allows for creating something rigid from organic shapes. This balance is what suprematism implies by simplicity, reduction, and basic geometries. In the SUPREMA PELE collection, there is no decoration without construction. The project seeks to show how imagination should not be opposed to structure, but be born out of it. Exposing lines, cuts, and seamlines becomes the way pattern making becomes visible and speaks for itself.
