MOIRED
blurred lines of transfiguration
SINCE 2013
Moired creates avant-garde, eco-conscious couture and sculptural works, seamlessly weaving contemporary queer narratives into thought-provoking, conceptual pieces. With a deep commitment to sustainability, each design is a reinvention, crafted from recycled or donated materials. Moired’s creations transcend mere fashion, exploring the intricate layers of identity, perception, and expression while highlighting pressing societal issues. Through a multidisciplinary approach, Moired embraces the fluidity of communities and the cyclical nature of life, encompassing both death and rebirth. The vision looks toward a dynamic, ever-evolving future, where culture, industry, and identity converge to reshape our understanding of the world.
The French translation is “water-like” or “shimmer”. In physics, art and optics, moiré patterns are referred to as large-scale interference patterns that are produced when opaque perpendicular-ruled pattern with transparent gaps overlay over other objects with similar patterns.
When overlayed, the patterns create this water-like movement that can only be described as the heat radiating off of a car in the summer heat.
Our mind and body deceive us constantly through the perception of our reality
PHILOSOPHY OF DESIGN
OBSERVATION
The Intention for this project is to highlight the concept of interconnecting, the human Condition, cyber evolution, Our environments and how we interact with them. Its overarching goal is to amplify the discourse on climate change; how we as consumers and producers, interact with one another to create a collective of a social hive mind are responsible for each and every decision that interacts with the world around us.
TEXTILES WITH TEXTURE
Moired recognizes the profound impact of body movement and varied textures on our consciousness. Each design, material, pattern, and intentional fold reflects a meticulous commitment to exploring broader concepts and prompting self-reflection on both personal and societal levels.
Our couture is tailored for those who purposefully invest, appreciating the intricate composition, embracing the nuanced nature of reality, and seeking to comprehend the tangible aspects of their perceived world. It's a collection crafted for individuals who find beauty in complexity and relish understanding the depth within their surroundings.
EXTENDED LIFE
In Moired's design philosophy, purpose, intentionality, creative language, and kinesiology form the cornerstones of every pattern. The process begins by envisioning individuals who will intently wear each piece, guiding decisions on pattern construction and material selection. A staunch commitment to combating fast fashion drives Moire's mission, achieved through the repurposing of discarded textiles to extend their lifespan. Each creation is meticulously designed, incorporating pleats and intricate folds to preserve fabric rather than resorting to cuts. The brand takes a literal stance in challenging fast fashion, slowing down fabric degradation by transforming and revitalizing discarded materials.
REBUILT AND reinforced
Moired's approach to recycling, particularly upcycling, revolves around thoughtful intentions—whether enhancing functionality, evolving aesthetics, or highlighting patterns. Textiles undergo alterations, seamlessly integrating counterparts to complement the original garment's design.
In the creation of garments, there's a commitment to utilizing the highest-quality sourced materials. This belief is grounded in the understanding that investing in superior materials outweighs the potential costs of repairing or replacing faulty ones. Even down to the metals used for hardware and the threads binding the textiles, meticulous attention ensures transparency for the wearer regarding each component.
