DZHUS SS19 line is dedicated to the process of apparel manufacturing, celebrating the technological aspect in all its peculiarity. Constructed using experimental patternmaking techniques, the designs offer radical transformations, making the garments extremely adaptive to their wearers’ preferences and changing circumstances: trousers are modified into a jacket almost instantly, a bag can be worn as either a top or a skirt, and a voluminous hood vanishes once flatly folded.
The use of fabrics and finishes plays up the ‘in progress’ condition of the garments, which designer Irina Dzhus has always found the most enrapturing stage of creation. Inspired by the genuineness and imperfection of mock-ups and prototypes, DZHUS SS19 pieces feature exaggeratedly structured details, exposed seams and threads, whereas some of the textiles resemble crumpled paper.
Traditionally, DZHUS have combined avant-garde approach to design with uncompromising quality, wearability and comfort.
