Intense Blue
Iva Sokovic graduate mini collection
This collection is inspired by shibari rope bondage in terms of patterns and styling. Vintage bondage models are characters that populate this quirky fashion landscape. And most importantly, the Night Sky is the scenery.
The Night Sky is the infinite unknown that envelopes our physical world in addition to our metaphysical existence. It is a recurring motif in my work, as I have always had this fascination with all things nocturnal and elusive.
The crown piece of this collection is the Night Sky jacket, which is easy to recognize. The pattern of this jacket is based on a concoction of corset patterns from various eras. Hence, a common denominator is singled out as basis, and a pinch of warrior aesthetic and military uniform feel is added. Upon all of this pattern drama, designed to create your perfect armor and ally in nocturnal escapades, rests the Night Sky itself, with its endless silence and mystery.
We look to the Night Sky for wonder. We look to it for comfort, but we sometimes look at it with dread. It is said to hold the answers to our destiny, with its countless lights intertwining, hence weaving the threads of our life story.
This exquisite garment is your sky map. Be it a moment in time or just a hypothesis, the Night Sky jacket is customisable to suit your needs. It’s oversized wrap collar holds a combination of pathways and heavenly bodies relevant to your self – creation. Be the architect of your own reality in this wasp-waisted transcendent shield!
Other items in the collection include, amongst others, the ”Things You Can Do With A 7m Rope” dress and a hooded bolero with detachable gloves.
