Alessandro Santi

Morphed Up

 Within the collection Alessandro aims to challenge norms and expand the limits of clothing. Garments analyse the relation between fashion and identity, questioning whether worn garments are able to speak for the person. By playing with fashion’s codes and proportions, twisting and deforming them to create something new and unexpected, yet oddly familiar the collection is a collage of volumes, sartorial detail and fabrics that convey a new image. The majority of textiles were deadstock fabrics, with some bonded with waste plastics to alter their quality and appearance.
