Torn fabrics and folded sleeves on tunics and dresses dominate the collection, featuring detailing in thoughfully positioned tears which reveal the bare skin beneath. Inspired by the Salvador Dali and ElsaSchiaparelli dress uses crepe, Central Saint Martins graduate Andrascik takes it to a new level with modern shift shapes and pastel colours.
Adam Andrascik, 26, is based in Hackney, London and interested in fashion by accident. A hip hop boy during his younger days, led him to fashion. His collection- the Tear Dress is inspired by Dali's simulated rips in crepes using print while Elsa Schiaparelli used a textile technique to achieve her own effect.
The actual silhouettes came about through bonding together oversized shapes and slashing through them, in a trial and error sort of approach. After these were perfected, he started bonding and sewing fabric samples, and luckily stumbled upon the strange combination of wool crepe, nude netting and polished cotton.
Adam's inspirations starts with a lot of library research, but this time he started with a textile technique, which ended up informing the rest of the collection. The silhouettes were based on an old book from the 70s about wearable art, and the colours were pastel hued as a response to all the black collection as of late.
Martin Margiela, his favorite designer because every time he think he had come up with a truly original idea, Margiela has already done it.
