Exploring the relationship between form and space, the Expressive story of Resort 23 is an embodiment of the highly anticipated collection’s sculptural ethos.
A symphony of ivory organza pieces first seen on Aje’s ‘Sculptura’ runway at Afterpay Australian Fashion Week, enjoy a behind-the-seams look at how these long-awaited styles came to life, from sketches to silhouettes.
Taking form in decadent tiers of raw cut organza, spiralling on sleeves and cascading along skirts in a vision of volume, the Expressive story—comprising a maxi dress, mini dress and cropped bodice—draws its essence from signature Aje craftsmanship and design codes.
Drawing partial inspiration from the immense installations created by artistic duo Christo and Jeanne-Claude, most notably L’Arc de Triomphe, Wrapped, the Expressive Pleated Maxi Dress reinterprets the revered artwork’s repetitive use of wrapping and draping through multiple ruching and pleating techniques developed in-house.
Entirely pleated and enhanced with soft gathers, the dress features raw-edged strips of pleated organza appliquéd onto a bubble-like bodice, heightening the sleeves with a fan-like spiral; an effect echoed in the Expressive Pleated Top.
As with its maxi dress and bodice counterparts, the Expressive Pleated Mini Dress showcases similar interpretations of these artisanal techniques.
Constructed with a ruched strapless bodice shaped with boning, pleated frills cascade along the skirt, with a sculpted, wavelike accent unfurling at the waist, rendering the wearer both canvas and art.
