Untamed Skin & Ensemble of Broken Pieces

Untamed Skin & Ensemble of Broken Pieces

‘Untamed Skin’ and 'Ensemble of Broken Pieces' shows the origins of the exquisite Romanian blouse - an untamed, yet delicate garment, traditionally worn close to the skin of its wearer and handcrafted from natural textiles and pigments and embroidered with primordial symbols and patterns.
Alexandru Nimurad teamed up with jewellery-designer Vika Tonu and developed their collaborative collection around the blouse as an organic structure, honouring its distinctive local background and visual history.
