Golden A' Design Award Winner 2021
Kestutis Lekeckas's Re Created Sustainable Suite commands immediate visual attention through its masterful deployment of geometric color-blocking that fragments the traditional masculine silhouette into a sophisticated study of chromatic juxtaposition and sartorial deconstruction, where the blazer emerges as the compositional nucleus presenting an asymmetrical patchwork construction that marries cool dove grey Prince of Wales check fabric with midnight navy solid panels and a deep indigo windowpane check segment positioned at the chest, creating a tripartite division that defies conventional tailoring symmetry while maintaining impeccable structural integrity through precise seaming and deliberate pattern placement. The compositional architecture adheres to an asymmetrical balance paradigm wherein the lighter grey tonalities occupy the upper right quadrant extending across the shoulder and down the right arm sleeve, establishing a diagonal thrust that counterweights the dominant navy mass enveloping the left side and lower torso, with the pocket square introducing a subtle blush pink accent that provides chromatic relief against the restrained palette. The figure stands centrally positioned within a shallow depth of field that renders the industrial backdrop of weathered brick, aged wood, and monolithic concrete blocks into an atmospheric sfumato of warm ochres, cool cement greys, and desaturated olive undertones, the environmental context suggesting post-industrial aesthetics that conceptually align with the garment's sustainable ethos of material reclamation and textile rebirth. Diffused overcast illumination produces soft-edged shadows beneath the jawline and within fabric folds, modeling form without harsh contrast while permitting the textural distinctions between matte wool suiting, crisp cotton shirting with Mandarin collar, and lustrous silk pocket square to register with tactile clarity. The slim-cut trousers in saturated navy extend the lower chromatic register downward, their smooth gabardine surface contrasting with the textured complexity above, while substantial black platform shoes anchor the vertical axis and introduce contemporary fashion-forward sensibility. The model's controlled frontal pose with relaxed arms and direct gaze establishes psychological engagement, the expression projecting confidence and understated sophistication that embodies the design's philosophical synthesis of environmental consciousness and elevated aesthetic refinement.
Collection creates a new aesthetic through waste and scrap from the sewing industry. Model design is born from a vivid combination of scraps, colours, proportions and textures. Each model is different and unique. The design reveals a variety of wear options, from a classic snug suit to oversize. Models created from pieces symbolize versatility and multiplicity of a person, inspiring users to rethink their values and re-create their self's. For the presentation, author chose a place that sometimes resembles new constructions and sometimes an apocalypse, which makes to rethink future scenarios.
