Hopes and Beliefs is a suit designed for daily work and for evening occasions. The set includes a Victorian-inspired puff-sleeve jacket, a belt-on peplum, jodhpur-style pants in two lengths and a Peter Pan collared dickey. The peplum can be attached over the jacket to change the appearance of the outfit. Magnetic closures on the pants and on the outer wrist of the sleeve adjust the garment and add a color accent. Fabrics made for industrial use are treated with special finishing steps to make them suitable for fashion. The suit is made in a limited series in Italian sizes 36 to 42.

Production Technology
Mostly, Reprobable works with his fabrics. Fabrics used to use in the food or sanitary industry, for example, industrial and not fashion niche, purchased directly from the manufacturers, is passed through a series of specific finishing procedures, so we manage to transform an atypical fabric into a fashion one. For the raw materials achieved, the colors will be decided during this whole creative process. Till the end, Reprobable will get its signature, from all points of view.
Design Challenge
Hopes and Beliefs talk about different moods and emotions, and personal kneels, intellect, and dilutions, that don't remain forgotten in a subconscious who never knows a soul. Reprobable always realized a limited series production that will never reproduce. As you can not reproduce the living for the first time of a child's emotion being, similarly, you can not reproduce tomorrow, the understandings already were undone about you. We have a product that dresses a body beautifully, dresses assumed, the soul too.
Project Duration
The project was started in April 2019 in Bucharest, and finished in June 2019 Bucharest too.
Operation Flow
Once upon a time, instead of waking up today,I woke up stupidly, in my day off yesterday.That was the day when, for the first time in my life, I felt fear.I deeply overwhelmed one single question.Did I dare to die already?And I felt the touch of eternal loneliness.No cure, no end. Even hopes were dead.Then suddenly I found myself an incredible force,somehow, help me to open my eyes and at that moment I saw a lot of lights and cross ads.So,hope and soul are alive,I am here with a reason,no doubt.
Research
In all the attempts at getting rid of myself, we will always find something new about ourselves. For this collection, I searched for my characters, as usual, different past times, thoughts, or principles. I tried to find the perfect suitable colors, warm nuances, which together, forming this whole unit, succeed in expressing positive emotions. Once discovered, acceded or understood by ourselves to the end, seen with the naked eye, all that stuff will be perceived by those around us, too.
Inspiration
It may seem like a paradox, but the whole concept is base on the positive experience of unlocking the negative emotions we do not know in the conscious way that we exist. For this collection, I spent a day and a night in the room where our greatest politician, Marshal Antonescu, was imprisoned, and whole this experience taught me to describe the real human's needs for being a free and untrained person. I entered Jilava Prison space like a humble servant, and I came out like a real winner.
