ArdAzAei Fall 2024 Couture: Calabi–Yau: The Hidden Dimensions
Which is their debut on the official Haute Couture calendar.
Featuring 25 looks inspired by the mathematical concepts of string theory, particularly the Calabi–Yau manifolds, ArdAzAei officially made their debut on the Haute Couture calendar.
Their looks combined elements of science fiction with the physics of garment construction, which overall created pieces that unfolded over sculptural silhouettes.
The collection centralizes degrade-printed silk organza and satin, which form petal-like shapes that envelop skirts, sleeves, and trains of dresses with stunning elements of detail. Kinetic cocktail dresses and fishtailed gowns are adorned with crystals along the edges, which were quick to highlight the fluid motion of the garments.
These materials and the techniques employed to bring the looks alive create a sense of geometry in motion, which reflects the scientific themes at the heart of the collection.
However, the allusions did not stop there as historical references also feature throughout. The art movement Dimensionalism, founded by poet Charles Sirato, is applicable to Bahareh Ardakani’s designs. It encouraged expanding beyond the three-dimensional reality into the multidimensional world proposed by modern physics. ArdAzAei’s Fall 2024 Couture collection mirrors this with its defiance of perception in an attempt to bring the unseen dimensions of reality to life through fashion.
We’d say it was a successful attempt.
