      I have a feeling that's going to be very impossible, like a PH kind of situation.

        Photos are up at H Lorenzo:
        http://shop.hlorenzo.com/products/vendor/mens/deepti

        Dropped in to the store to check out their buy last week, and I'll echo the sentiment that, more than anything, this first collection is remarkable for its technical accomplishment and ingenuity (with respect to her silvered fabrics, specifically). Wearability mileage will vary -- how much do you like your outfits to reflect streetlight? -- but at least the experience of wearing a sheet of thin, pliant silver against the skin is sensational. (Literally -- I felt, like, ionically charged on contact.) Her scarves (one resembling a Jewish tallit, the other a sort of delicate chainmail) incorporate the .925 silver in less ostentatious fashion; the dress shirts have a notable open-collar detail; and the ring is like a partial, deconstructed brass knuckle (and made of Ag of course). Viewing the rest through the lens of her CCP work is natural and inevitable, and revealing. I didn't walk out with anything, but the collection's technical ambition along with her previous bona fides means she's sure to shine, silverly or otherwise.

          Link doesn't work. H Lorenzo seems have to have taken the images down.

            Indeed -- they've removed the photos/sizes of their inventory, purchase links, even Deepti's name (and its linked landing page) from their DESIGNERS dropdown menu(!).

              I guess TriggerDiscipline was right, she wants to go the way of the Paul Harnden.

                Yes, also there some pieces at DAAD DANTONE in Milan, and they said that she doesn't want to appear in online store.

                    And now it's gone.

                        images still available through google cache if anyone who can't visit a store wants to view them...

                        Whole secrecy thing is frustrating, contrived and totally pointless.

                          A lot of pieces are uploaded (with m_moria footwear on top of that) to project_314 instagram (an affiliate boutique).

                          Handled it in person in London, it was really nice and deep tailoring (can I use this term for knitwear?), especially the sweater. I wonder how it will look like in 1-2 years when silver will be oxidized already.

                            Obviously the metal textile has piqued my attention, I'd love to know more about the application in this collection. Silver has a melting point of 960°C, so I would imagine that it would just burn any textile it came into contact with. I have no idea how else you could liquify silver without melting it the traditional way. Very interesting!
                            some do it fast, some do it better in smaller amounts.
