act V

on Mode povera V: Les vêtements de Renée

tonight’s white canvas

a base layer of black

.

gesso for a study in tenderness

.

at times, a balancing act

an act of stillness

.

fabric settling onto her skin

clothes breathing in anew

.

a routine built on intimacy

beheld by many curious

.

eyes directed at the beholder

or musing mirrors for the self

.

who’s to say?

“If there is one sector that rejects uncertainty, that freezes its patterns, it is the fashion industry. It has lost its sense of the unexpected.”

. Olivier Saillard
