SURFACE LANGUAGE

A study in historical reconstruction. This gothic Victorian silhouette top pulls late-19th-century mourning aesthetics into a contemporary architectural form. The piece utilizes volume and constraint, creating a rigid torso that violently releases into tiered, fluid sleeves.

The materiality is entirely focused on texture and light absorption. Matte black fabric forms the core chassis, punctuated by a Peter Pan collar with a structured bow. The sleeves cascade into three distinct tiers of heavy floral lace, introducing a gothic, fragile density that contrasts with the severe button-front body.
