Unreal City

Using deconstruction the designer has recreated a conventional, professional man’s wardrobe, with attention squarely on the suit. Starting by deconstructing she identified design elements that have become irrelevant over time. Piece by piece the Unreal City garments are constructed with extra attention to functionality using traditional menswear tailoring techniques – generous hem and waist allowances allowing for alteration, and practical pockets in jackets and trousers which is often overlooked in womenswear. Looking back to tradition is balanced with a forward thinking design philosophy bringing the tradition of tailoring into the modern age through innovation and experimentation.
