Part of the LAYERS collection, these one-of-a-kind shorts are handmade in Spain by our skilled artisans, crafted from the same striking, heavy Tapisteria fabric traditionally used for upholstery. Unlike the exaggerated and oversized design of the blazer, these shorts offer a stark contrast in their minimalist, shortened silhouette, emphasizing the imbalance often felt by individuals grappling with body dysmorphia.
The heavy, textured fabric remains a key element, carrying the essence of Cubism, much like the contrasting extremes within the condition of body dysmorphia. The shorts, while small and minimalistic in shape, symbolize the discomfort and dissonance between body image and self-perception. Just as the exaggerated shoulders of the blazer distort the upper body, these shorts emphasize a different kind of distortion—one that draws attention to the conflict between how one sees themselves and how they are perceived externally.
The short length of the shorts serves as a direct representation of the disconnection felt by those with body dysmorphia. The disproportionate nature of the design reflects how the condition can cause an individual to feel as if their body does not align with societal standards or their own self-image, creating a sense of imbalance.
The shorts are lined with the same Tapisteria fabric as the blazer, ensuring that the emotional weight and textural richness of the material permeate the entire look. This design reflects the heaviness of the emotional burden carried by those grappling with body dysmorphia—the constant struggle between perception and reality, the unbalanced self-image, and the societal pressures to conform to distorted ideals.
These shorts are more than just a garment—they are a statement. They encapsulate the feeling of internal conflict and the tension between a perceived ideal body image and the reality of one’s own body, highlighting the extremes that exist in body dysmorphia.
