Presented as a film during the COVID-19 context. Models spun against a black backdrop.
Présentée sous forme de film. Les mannequins tournaient sur un fond noir.
"Life is about birth and growing and dying, you see it in the video, the way we build up that look." — Xuan-Thu Nguyen
An elaborate cotton dress with vertical panels like book pages flipped and stacked; a long white jacket with rounded shoulders constructed from thousands of feet of ribbon creating pure lines; a body-hugging black dress layered with ribbons and leather flowers in copper, blue, and fluorescent yellow. Mounds of ruffles built up and removed on film — the lifecycle of a garment made visible.
Une robe en coton élaborée avec des panneaux verticaux comme des pages de livre ; une longue veste blanche aux épaules arrondies construite à partir de milliers de mètres de ruban ; une robe noire moulante ornée de rubans et de fleurs en cuir.
