Porcelain

I created a series of costumes inspired by porcelain tableware, as I have always been fascinated by its fragility and, at the same time, its resistance to time. As a child, porcelain was something special to me — an object that could not be touched without care, a relic carrying the memory of generations. I'm inspired by the sensation of its smooth, cold surface, the play of reflections on the glaze, and the fear of breaking something precious that could never be restored. In these costumes, I explore the boundary between fragility and strength, stillness and movement, object and body.

Identification of the source of inspiration and finding references.

The next step is cutting, a stage that requires precision and foresight. Each piece must be carefully measured and shaped to fit seamlessly into the overall composition. Whether working with fabric, rigid materials, or sculpted elements, I consider how each cut will influence movement, structure, and the final silhouette. A wrong cut could mean starting over, so every decision is deliberate.

Then comes refining the details, a stage where every edge is smoothed, every joint is reinforced, and every texture is adjusted to enhance the illusion of porcelain. I carefully evaluate how light interacts with the surfaces, ensuring that each reflection and contour contributes to the overall effect. Small adjustments—whether in structure, fit, or embellishment—bring the costume closer to its final form.

Then comes assembling.
