2x1 = Split Identities/Personalities Different But Same
The collection from these designing twins is an interpretation of nature vs. nurture, considering the difference sand similarities of the two. Their design process started with the purchase of 33 rolls of horsehair braids from a company which was going to throw them away, these were used for sample prototypes. Horsehair braids were used for the construction of pieces of garments for the purpose of volume and for the construction details. The pair designed motifs and plaid prints which were applied to pleated wool skirts using heat-press reflective vinyl.
