About Undiscovered Landscapes Napapanatiling Coat

Bagaman posible nang tuklasin ang halos bawat sulok ng Daigdig sa pamamagitan ng mga screen ng kompyuter, posible pa ba ang muling pagtuklas sa mundo? Ang koleksyong ito ay hango sa mga lumalalayong tanawin ng Daigdig, kung saan ang mga gusali, kalye, at sasakyan ay unti-unting nawawala, nag-iiwan lamang ng mga geometrikong kontur. Ginawa mula sa basura ng industriya ng pagtahi, ang mga coat na ito ay nangunguna sa bagong napapanatiling estetika. Ang mga tekstura ng mga tela ay kahawig ng mga gumagalaw na tanawin, tulad ng mga mapa na nakikita mula sa itaas, na nag-uudyok ng pagninilay hinggil sa pagpapanatili at pandaigdigang tensyong pampulitika. Ang coat ay sumasagisag ng init, nag-aalok ng kanlungan laban sa kahinaan ng buhay at kawalan ng katiyakan ng nagbabagong mundo.

Behind the Design

Press Kit

Credits, team members and technical details provided by the designer.

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.
Tags: sustainable fashion, men's fashion, coat, unisex coat, lekeckas, kestutis lekeckas, sustainability, sustainable design, circular design, fashion
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.
