Process

The love for searching the soul of a garment was born with my first experiences with tailored jackets.

The application of interlinings by means of continuous hand stitching, to specific areas of the pieces of fabric —mainly to the inside of the front parts— was the clue to this discovery.

A picture, even more attractive than the tailored jacket, emerged from the repeated gesture of sewing. All the garments that required reinforcing their structure to make them perform well, contained within them work that was a better reflection of the action of sewing as a craft than the visible aspect of the garment itself.

The dedication involved in the many stages of the tailoring process of a finished piece of garment resulted, by default, in a deep interest in dissembling old and complex garments. Wardrobe puzzles which, when assembled on a flat surface, formed the map of a dissected garment.This exercise corresponds to a certain creative compulsion, whose foundation is the obsessive practice of the countless gestures implicit in the art of tailoring.
