Object 12-1 Collection by Matija Cop

Croatian designer Matija ÄŒop might be relatively new to the game, being a graduate student, but his collection, Object 12-1 is a striking mixture of sculpture and conceptual fashion. Inspired by architecture and the chiseled stone material used to construct the Å ibenik cathedral, Cop used one material that was laser cut into small pieces that were then assembled together using the “plug and feather” technique.

Each sculptural garment, while made from a contemporary material, utilizes similar qualities to a building being built from stone – small pieces that work together to become a new form. After three months of production, the dramatic collection shows striking works of art that might just change how we view the future of fashion.
