About Undiscovered Landscapes दिगो कोट

यद्यपि कम्प्युटर स्क्रिनमा पृथ्वीको प्रायः हरेक कुना अन्वेषण गर्न सम्भव छ, के संसारलाई पुन: खोज्न सम्भव छ? यो सङ्कलन पृथ्वीको पछाडि हट्दै गएका दृश्यहरूबाट प्रेरित छ, जहाँ भवनहरू, सडकहरू र कारहरू लुप्त हुँदै जान्छन्, केवल ज्यामितीय रूपरेखाहरू मात्र बाँकी रहन्छन्। सिलाई उद्योगको फोहोरबाट बनाइएको यो कोटले नयाँ दिगो सौन्दर्यशास्त्रको नेतृत्व गर्दछ। कपडाको बनावटले परिवर्तनशील परिदृश्यहरूसँग मिल्दोजुल्दो छ, माथिबाट देखिने नक्साहरू जस्तै, जसले दिगोपन र विश्वव्यापी राजनीतिक तनावहरूमा चिन्तन गर्न उत्प्रेरित गर्दछ। यो कोटले न्यानोपनको प्रतीक हो, जीवनको नाजुकता र परिवर्तनशील संसारको अनिश्चितता विरुद्ध शरणस्थान प्रदान गर्दछ।

Unique Properties
Sustainable coats made from production waste, typically discarded, aim to promote a zero-waste production vision. Only the highest-quality natural wool fabrics, such as merino, cashmere, and alpaca, are used. By combining fabric pieces, Lithuanian folk heritage and traditional patchwork techniques are incorporated. Fabrics in various colors, textures and structures form a map-like pattern, symbolizing the complex global situation and the need to redraw our mental maps for a sustainable future.
Dimensions & Packaging
Unique pieces are sewn using the standard sizing system, but they can be altered, adjusted, and individualized, and made to order.

Production Technology
Zero-waste technology – made from production waste. Patchwork techniques inspired by Lithuanian heritage. All materials are of natural origin.
Design Challenge
The complexity of the design process lies in combining different materials with varying compositions, thicknesses, structures, and types. A sufficient amount of scraps must be collected and sorted, and the design style cannot be predetermined, as the design process is closely integrated with the cutting process. Due to limited quantities and material parameters, the use of fabric pieces is restricted. Additionally, to maximize resource utilization, the geometric parameters of the details are carefully considered. Accessories are made from the smallest scraps.
Research
Delving into the specifics of the Lithuanian national costume, especially the coat design, in order to reproduce the details of identity in the coat design, as well as into the Lithuanian patchwork art, in order to adapt it to the connection of details from different materials
Inspiration
Amidst ongoing military conflicts and the efforts of powerful forces to redraw maps, sustainability issues are often sidelined. In this shifting world, art, fashion, and individual choices become vital forms of resistance and expression. Through conscious design, fashion sparks reflection, encouraging others to consider the consequences of their actions and the impact of global shifts on the future.
Project Duration
The coats presented are made for the 2024/25 season, but the aim is for them to remain relevant for multiple seasons, focusing on timeless design and slow fashion principles. This is the first coat collection belonging to our ongoing zero-waste project, inspired by the sustainable suit design that won gold at the "Design Award & Competition" 2020/21. This design has evolved from a limited collection into a long-term project.
Operation Flow
Models can be repaired and updated in our design studio, taking into account the specifics of production (made from pieces), it is easy to replace worn parts of the material with new ones, additional cuttings can be introduced, so after updating the product can look completely new, it corresponds to the circular design category.
