For Kofta, the curves, botanical decorations and spirals seen in Baroque architecture are a “dramatic” opposite of the straight lines and regular forms that a building otherwise has. By transforming these architectural elements into wearable objects, Kofta attaches the “artificial nature” seen in Baroque art onto the human body, creating a poetic juxtaposition between the architecture of the human body and that of a time long past. All of the bags and accessories in this collection were made by pressing fine leather onto special hand-made sculptural frames that are made in-house and one-by-one by a dedicated sculptor. Once the leather is pressed on them, it is in turn painted over with a custom-made grey paint and finished with different kinds of wax to give the impression of concrete or plaster.
