Paris based designer Egle Cekanaviciute comes from a family of tailors, she is part of the fourth generation whose work and interests revolve around clothing. Originally from Lithuania, Egle studied fashion in London. She worked at Dior and now is an assistant womenswear designer for Maison Martin Margiela!
Egle has a strong interest in global politics, "Global issues motivate my world, as well as the passion for creating beautiful shapes that style the human body. I try to speak to the world through my clothes, they are the message carriers." she told Jacqueline WayneGuite.
Egle Cekanaviciute's 2010 collection "Artefact" incorporates orthopaedia with fashion creating a wonderfully bizarre mix of plastic, metal, leather and beautifully delicate fabrics.
"It's all about fitting the body into the "right" shape. The difference between the two fields is that tailoring is much more aesthetically acceptable and appreciated than orthopaedia, even though the latter is inevitable and needed every day. Just look around. It's all around you."
