The ingenuity of the designers work began back in 2009 with
her first project collection called ‘200 photographs’ and every year since she
has brought out fascinating bewitching conceptualised work. Geopfert’s latest work entitled “The
Garments May Vary” is literally what she has curated for her 2013 project.
I’m obsessed with the work in this collection because it’s
wearable art that captures a certain condition or movement of a naturally ever
changing object. What I love is the fact that the final process of this piece
is never defined because only through wearing the garment are you able to
capture the process in what it’s form should aesthetically look like.
The pieces Geopfert produced for the project change form,
structure, volume, motif and colour all whilst in normal use. The medium she
has used to create garments includes Memory foam, whereby the designer created
an oversized baby pink jumper. The textile designers designs also venture into the realms of wax
where she has created a wax skirt and jacket which are both strong in form. The innovations of
her designs in this project don’t stop there, she has also created a futuristic jacket
where the material is liquid.

What is so spectacular about the concept of this project
is that the garments temporarily and permanently capture movements and
behaviour patterns of the wearer. And what’s even more cooler with it doesn’t stop there once the garment has been worn and is off, it can be regarded as a sculptural abstract object that can no
longer be recognised as an item of clothing.
I will always be intrigued by the intelligence of
Nadine’s Geopferts visions for her work because these pieces go beyond the a definition
of a garment.
What do you think and are you as inspired as I am?
