Pressrelease S/S10
From A to Z; a mockumentary
Hernández Cornet Spring/ Summer 2010
is all about the process. Going from nothing to the first imperfect draft and the final exquisitely constructed piece.
A design exercise that incorporates mock-ups and mishappenings as an undeniable and necessary part of the actual result.
The multi-faceted collection includes toile fittings and sketches of the first design ideas partly translated into garments. Stumpy toile fabric flowers transform into delicate tulle roses and frills.
Other textures include unbleached toile cotton, printed crinkle effects on viscose as well as crinkled
jersey featured in a slouchy yet flattering silhouette. The strict colour palette runs from white, ecru and grey to brown, deep red and black. Details play with the unfinished; a big misplaced flounce that
seemingly has dropped from its hem, raw edged frills sporadically sprinkled on dresses and leggings.
The word “final” does not exist. Instead, it recreates itself through garments that resemble unfinished sentences, accompanied by a light and apparitional question mark, dangerously wafting in the air.
