REWIND
URBAN FOR ALL: CLOAK - HALF JACKET
“The dress must follow the body of a woman, not the body following the shape of the dress”
[ Hubert de Givenchy ]
UNDRESSING PROCESS:
1. Inside the sleeve, there is a long ribbon with a small ring at the end.
5. The fabric will shrivel, and the user will be able to take off the arm easily.
2. Under the drapery of the neck lies another ribbon to wear as a necklace.
6. This will be an aid to remove the working arm sleeve for easy undressing without using the other arm.
3. There is a hook hanging on it, where to place the ring.
7. Grab the neck and pull off.
4. After having inserted the ring in the hook, it needs to be pulled.
8. Taking off the coat.

What is the expectation?
It is being able to comfortably dress and change, passing from the outside to the inside of the workplace.
What is the solution?
Create easy dress wearability. For a woman who does not surrender to a still limb, but faces the chaos of the city. To the rigidity and frenzy of the city, it opposes the softness of a garment consisting of a fluid tissue, the wool and a particular fiber called seacell*.
*SEACELL fiber makes the benefits of algae wearable. The German company Smartfiber AG introduced algae as a material to be woven and mixed with other fibers to exploit the benefits of deep-water minerals where trace elements are present.
Seacell, a cellulose-based material, is mostly made up of eucalyptus plant fiber. The eucalyptus fiber is combined with algae and is transformed into a tissue that contains numerous benefits for human skin. With a fiber structure that facilitates the active exchange of nutrients between the skin and tissue, seacell releases nutrients such as calcium, magnesium, iron and vitamin E (which is extremely useful for the repair of chapped or damaged skin) on the wearer.
Colour and pattern table.
Mood/Style:
Double: is the dominant of an extraordinary collection. Asymmetric and double-face, half cape and half jacket, features that emphasize the capricious female side, of those who do not want to choose.
Forms:
Wide, not attached to the body, with broad shoulders. Short to the pelvis. Soft fabric, kimono sleeves.
The outerwear softens the geometry of the shoulders with sleeves with volumes and clean cuts that give the silhouette a very austere and elegant attitude.
Accessories:
String in the sleeve to facilitate movements while undressing. Necklace ribbon, with seat for the hook.
