A study in trompe-l'œil dressing filtered through archival Belgian experimentation.
A graphic T-shirt informed by Martin Margiela’s Spring/Summer 1996 collection, where photographs of garments were printed directly onto clothing to create a deliberate dissonance between image and object. Here, the garment itself becomes both surface and illusion, shirts rendered as ghostly overlays, suspended across the body through blurred photographic printing.
Constructed from a plant based Sorona®-cotton blend jersey, the fabric is lightweight, breathable, and soft against the skin, with cooling and quick-drying properties designed for summer wear. The prints are applied using high-definition direct-to-garment techniques, preserving tonal depth and clarity without compromising the feel of the fabric.
The oversized silhouette falls loosely through the body with a relaxed drape that amplifies the graphic distortion. The prints operate like traces or afterimages — a reconstruction of clothing through memory and displacement.
