A job that meets all expectations
Commitment and creativity, equal success. The proof is that few or none in real life can match this perfection that he created with his own hands. The work that came out of his imagination meets all his expectations.
To make the 15 dresses in the collection were needed…
For days and nights, in full lockdown, Farhad Re cuts the triple organza of silk in a virginal whiteness. The contours appear delicately, and Pygmalion / Farhad applies himself to carving a light, sculptural, architectural silhouette. No less than 500 meters of organza were needed to create the 15 dresses of the collection.
Letting go – after all these months of isolation
Behind the opacity of the material looms the grace of the woman as seen by Farhad Re and whom he calls Galatea, with skin white as milk, and with whom Pygmalion fell in love … The purity of renewal, of freedom, of letting go – after all these months of lockdown- is also found in the perfectly mastered and hand-shaped geometric shapes that form each dress.

A real desire to share this need for the absolute, this quest for the sublime, this inclination to shape in the loved one a soul mate.
