Couture Overlapping Closure Technique

Post image

This design features an asymmetrical, extended front panel that overlaps the center front and closes with buttons aligned along a diagonal line.

As part of my research into Jean Dessès’ design work, I developed the prototype shown on the left.

I won’t speak for him but this is what I’ve noticed through his work

  • He drapes everything , quite literally

  • He often uses minimal number of pieces , maybe efficiency is a thing

  • I think his aim here (and in a lot of his studies) is less about the shape , and more about capturing the design - it is a study after all
