contrasted elegant thermoplastic forms against effortless stripped vinyl wall covering to create a garment with a life of its own. A simple, repeated motif translates to a dynamic, playful garment, worthy of any
soiree.
Although a white armor piece was envisioned in earlier sketches, MDC Interior Solutions could only provide the bronze thermo-plastic. As designers must always
do, we adapted to our new contraints, resulting in a stunning piece of armor.
