Patch Panel Dress

Pairing traditional feminine silhouettes, materials, and textures with unconventional, deconstructed experimentalism, there’s a lot to love in Erica Fascendini’s designs. Each piece is carefully hand sewn and made-to-order, meaning no two pieces are ever identical. Irregular stitching and a mixed material approach allows artistic whim to play a role in Fascendini’s production process. This focus is not just an aesthetic choice though - it also allows Fascendini to avoid excess material use and limit waste, whilst simultaneously crafting intricate pieces which complement and mould to the wearer's body. From her studio in Italy Erica Fascendini explores her fascination with the malleability and interpretive potential of different fabrics, and the result is a brand which invites the wearer into her research-based, experimental design style.
