For this week’s digital haute couture @parisfashionweek put on by the @fhcm the designer @imane_ayissi presented a collection called AMAL -Si, which means “the great misfortune that befalls the earth”. He focused his presentation on pieces he could craft from fabric offshoots he had from previous collections. The result is clothes - often constructed in a patchwork effect - that hint at a world parched from lack or water, the last falling petals of a fading flower or a gorgeous body concealing dress that moves like a endangered sea creature hunted for its beauty. The collection was poignant and transmitted its message in a meaningful manner.
