“BOTANICAL ANATOMY” BY ATELIER JEAN PHILLIP AND TABLEAU IS THE COLLABORATION OF TWO ENTITIES, EACH OF THEM BEING EXPERT WITHIN THEIR OWN FIELD OF CRAFTMANSHIP: FASHION AND FLORAL DESIGN. ATELIER JEAN PHILLIP AND TABLEAU DESIGNED A LIMITED CLOTHING COLLECTION CONSISTING OF GENDERLESS PIECES WITH SHARP CUTS, MULTI-LAYERING, BELT TYING, AND AERIAL SPLITS; HAND-SEWN FROM EARTHY TONED FABRICS SUCH AS LINEN, COTTON AND CASHMERE.
EACH PIECE OF GARMENT WELCOMES ONE OR SEVERAL PRINTED IMAGES ON WHITE LINEN, CUT AND HAND-SEWN WITH ROUGH EDGES. THE IMAGES ILLUSTRATE THE ENCOUNTER BETWEEN FLOWERS AND BODIES, THE BOTANICAL ARTS AND HUMAN ANATOMY.
THE COLLECTION CONSISTS OF 11 GENDERLESS PIECES, HAND-SEWN IN COPENHAGEN AND AVAILABLE IN 2 TO 3 SIZES ACCORDING TO THE GARMENTS.
“COLLABORATING WITH A FASHION DESIGNER HAS ALWAYS BEEN A BIG DREAM OF MINE. ATELIER JEAN PHILLIP IS A PERFECT MATCH BECAUSE OF ITS COUTURE EXPERTISE AND ORIGINAL CREATIVE MINDSET. THE STORYLINE BEHIND BOTANICAL ANATOMY IS TO EMPHASISE THE SIMILARITIES BETWEEN THE HUMAN BODY LANGUAGE AND THE MOVEMENT OF FLOWERS.
WE TRANSLATED THAT IDEA INTO A UNIQUE COLLECTION OF LIMITED GARMENTS, BEING BOTH SHARP IN THEIR CONSTRUCTION AND UNCONVENTIONAL IN THEIR DESIGN AND PARTICULARITIES, DUE TO THE PRINTED AND HAND-SEWN IMAGES OF BODIES AND FLOWERS”
SAYS JULIUS VÆRNES IVERSEN, CREATIVE DIRECTOR AND FOUNDER OF TABLEAU
“MAKING A COLLABORATION WITH TABLEAU HAS ALWAYS BEEN SOMETHING THAT FELT NATURAL TO ME. FLOWERS AND HUMANS ARE LIVING ORGANISMS THAT ARE SOMEHOW SIMILAR IN ANATOMY AND AESTHETIC, BEING BOTH STRONG AND FRAGILE AT THE SAME TIME. MERGING THE TWO IN A PHOTO FUSED CONCEPT THAT WOULD BE PRINTED AND HAND-SEWN ONTO GARMENTS WAS A SINGULAR IDEA FOR BOTH TABLEAU AND I. THE COLLECTION IS KEPT IN EARTHY TONES MAKING IT RESONATE WITH THE HUMAN ANATOMY AND THE BOTANICAL WORLD. THE COLLECTION IS FREE AND FLOWY AS HUMANS AND NATURE ARE SUPPOSED TO BE.”
SAYS JEAN PHILLIP DYEREMOSE, CREATIVE DIRECTOR AND OWNER OF THE EPONYMOUS LABEL
