The book/movie “The Remains of the Day” is about a butler in the 1950s who witnessed the decline of the British aristocracy. Despite many regrets in his life, the end of the story conveyed a hopeful mood about starting anew, which inspired this SS22 collection. Men’s suits from the 1950s are deconstructed and transformed into women’s clothing. Checkered and striped linings are used outside, while a dress can be half shirt and half jacket, communicating a sense of incompleteness or work in progress that signifies both regrets and a new journey.
