Tri-Edge

  • Ilke Usluca
In these group of works, which I called them Tri-edge, I started with an ornament from Marrakech.
I saw it in old ornaments and historic places. And as I searched the historic process;
I realized the affects of other nations on Moroccan culture.
So in the first product, its Moroccan, and with Islamic affect. Its more oriental,
with sand colors, reminding the dessert culture.

And by time, as France comes to Morocco, their Muslim habits are changing and they become neither Muslim anymore and neither perfectly European.

So the second product shows that middle feeling, with a little bit of French affect.
And in the last one, its modern, European and nowadays vest.

And we are also seeing the patterns are developing as well with the product.
as patterns goes more edgy and more strong, design of the waistcoat gets simpler. Fitting the world of today. Much more effective and bolder.
