Sacred Geometry and Samurai Silhouettes at Jean-Pierre Braganza

Sacred Geommetry and Samurai Silhouettes at Jean-Pierre Braganza Text: An enduring obsession with sacred geometry was the starting point for Italian-Canadian designer Jean-Pierre Braganza's Autumn offering. His 'geeky obsession' translated into perfectly proportioned interlocking circles and triangles digitally printed onto long, flowing silk shifts and woven into rich silk jacquard jackets. Braganza's army of 'cosmic beings' had clearly been dwelling in the Orient, as elements of Samurai-style tailoring and soft silk obi belts wound their way into the fluid tailoring, which which made a strong statement in pure black and white, accented with flashes of peach, teal and petrol blue. Our favourite pieces were a figure-skimming silken jumpsuit splashed with dragon scale patterns and belted with a silken sash, and a structured leather nad woll wasitcoat which, when worn belted over a flowing chiffon maxi, offered a new styling idea that we're likely to see lots of come Fall.
