Lihi Gelfand // Happily n/ever after

​

Happily, ever after stories and fairy tales are a part of our childhood.

We are growing up believing that is the way things will happen for us. One day we will meet prince charming or princess perfect.

As we grow up, we realize that the process of finding a relationship and our love life is not as magical and simple as in stories, we lose our innocence and experience moments of disillusionment.

In my final project I bring together the world of fantasy and the everyday life reality in which we are living. The encounters are created in textiles between silk fabrics, chiffons and organza fabric Which remind us the worlds of fantasy, and wool, cotton and nylons that are familiar to us from the clothing items relevant today.

The encounter between the worlds is reflected in the combination of shapes and clothing items which I put through a process of emptying and sucking out the air from the garment.

​

The collection presents a combination of women evening wear with everyday clothing items that identifies with the moments of crisis and disillusionment that love brings alongside the belief that for moments it will look to us like we dreamed when we were children.
