Carpe Diem, Lmaltieri, Linea, etc.

Prototype vs. Production



I found it interesting to know that even Altieri had to make concessions with his pieces sometimes.




Imagery



Once again, BIG thanks to Runner!

albert, you just reminded me in these images of everything i visually appreciate about women.

don't thank me Spence, I just brought them over here from tFS. Runner's got all the goods!

completely agree with you on wishing I was as into Carpe et al as much as I am now 4-5 years ago. Sigh... to have stood inside the shipping crate fitting studio at X12... everything else clothing related would have paled in comparison.

I took my L'Maltieri jacket to the tailor as it had a loose thread, nothing major but I was taking in some stuff anyways. when picking it up, the tailor asked me "who on earth made this jacket?" apparently she had been going over it trying to figure out how the hell it was made; theres not a single visible seam inside nor out that would hint how the layers have been put together. a definite Carpe Diem moment

[the breaks]

So what did you tell her?

[lowrey]

"some Italian guy"

...she had been going over it trying to figure out how the hell it was made; theres not a single visible seam inside nor out that would hint how the layers have been put together.

My first encounter was a quad layer shirt. Blew my mind away (as did the price). Wish I had bought it now (hindsight 20/20 right?). Never saw it again.

Love the shoulder construction on this. You look at it and wonder if it will slip off when wearing, then you put it on and it anchors itself to you. Brilliantly engineered.

[lowrey]

well, she seems to do very good work. I'm of course aware of the seamless construction myself, but it was cool to hear someone, who takes garments apart on a daily basis, to be awed by the work

[lowrey]

this is the jacket. I did actually notice how it has most likely been finished, the only visible seam is the other lapel / side of the front.

Runner coming through with the storyboard of the Anatomica development... but first a couple more shots of Anatomica shirts and a couple of shots of Fattoamano (the second two photos):








Pretty sure Fattoamano shots taken at X12.
