To notice the absence of something, we must first be aware of its presence. For designer Marcel Sommer, the word “borderless” first and foremost refers to the concept of unity, something that has to be achieved, as it doesn’t pop out of nowhere. It is a calibration process, bringing balance between separated parts that feel different while ultimately they are the same. Marcel is trying to capture the final stage of a full calibration that leads to borderlessness. His outfit features two layered looks that fully overlap thanks to a semi-transparent upper layer. In addition to that, he is also morphing garments, basically re-creating their borders and challenging the viewer to identify them. The goal was to achieve a one-pattern garment to create a sense of unity.
