The Design
About Broken Sovereign Collectio Vestium Muliebrium
Broken Sovereign est collectio vestium muliebrium quinque habituum, a vestitu Dynastiae Tang et cultura Sinensium Malaesiae inspirata. Forma tunicae ad gestum salutationis Dynastiae Tang refertur. Manicae latae more Tang cum pallio pluviali coniunguntur, ut stratificationem et coercitionem significent. Neoprenum pro tunicis et pallis adhibetur, quoniam haec materia formam servat et impressionem digitalem recipit. Corium alutaceum pro subuculis, thoracibus, gunnis et stolis adhibetur. Vestes antiquae super simulacrum disponuntur, ut novae formae efficiantur. Pictura harundinis festum Hokkien revocat et iuniores generationes admonet, ne linguae maternae obliviscantur.
