This is a projects that draws deeply from the ritualistic beauty of Romanian traditional garments, reinterpreting them through a contemporary, poetic lens inspired by the work of Martine Sitbon. This collection explores the tension between nostalgia and reinvention, memory and modernity, craft and couture.
Using unconventional materials drawn from the domestic and the sacred—wall carpets, macramé curtains, and Orthodox religious motifs—the garments become textured collages of cultural heritage. Tapestry-like fabrics echo the embroidered richness of Romanian folklore, while hand-woven elements and raw edges suggest a reverence for artisanal imperfection. The symbolism of the Orthodox church—icons, gilded thread, liturgical silhouettes—is subtly woven into the garments, turning clothing into relics of both personal and collective identity.
Channeled through the spirit of Martine Sitbon, known for her soft rebellion, feminine edge, and quiet romanticism, the collection avoids costume and instead becomes elegantly undone.
From Wall to Wear is a conversation between past and present, a wearable archive of inherited rituals reimagined for the modern body. It pays homage to the domestic space as a site of artistry and spirituality, where every thread carries a story—and every garment becomes an heirloom of reinvention.
