M x M – The Coat
Created in 1919 yet so very wearable. Replace the fur collar with a fake one and it could be my coat for many winters to come.

M x M – The Pleats
Never before had I been so close to so many Mariano Fortuny dresses. It took a real effort to restrain myself from reaching out to touch them.
Hand-pleated and hand-sewn using the unique Mariano Fortuny technique, a process which the maître guarded zealously all his life and which remains a mystery to this day.

M x M – The Whites
From the ‘Manus x Machina: Fashion in an Age of Technology” exhibition, at The Met.
The skill, the superb craftsmanship
The artistry, the stitching, the minute attention to detail
The hours of work, the zealousness, the passion, the tears
The vision
Integrating modern technology into fashion and using it to transform garments into wearable sculptures
The fun trying to tell Manus from Machina and failing
The joy in being free to photograph
Simply Sublime
