Time Diagonal

Grociszki Manor, Latvia.

Combination of appealing fragments of the past costume balls and sumptuous receptions, such as antique brass buttons, beadwork and antique lacework, with modern, artificially aged materials — all this represents „old” times in the new fashion world.
Memories of not-so-long-ago youth of our Mothers, the World War II and „booty” findings from flea markets. Nostalgia for the sounds of old- and not so old-records, tango tunes and The Beatles' music.
Time Diagonal is an invitation to experience new ideas arising from revitalizing antique dresses in their natural environment. This creates an organic connection, a natural bridge from the past to the present. Life on the brink between dreams and reality.
