À Bout de Souffle

Taking as its starting point the figures of a one-man band and a balloon sculptor, À Bout de Souffle is both a dissection of balloons and a study of musical instrument stands. The collection draws on these two imaginary worlds to create a recognisable men’s wardrobe inspired by the Ivy style of the 1960s.
The collection uses joyful and familiar objects such as jeans, a trench coat, an easel and a red balloon; it attempts to introduce new ideas through the play of combinations.
As an extension of my master’s project, an everyday object becomes the source of inspiration for the collection, with each design choice guided by its unique characteristics.
Balloons are voluminous but defy gravity; accessible but universally cheerful; common but magical. Just like musical instruments, which have the ability to strengthen social bonds through their sound. That is what I wanted to capture.
