About this collection

Van Saene flattened the codes of tailoring by printing or applying lapels and collars onto garment fronts. Mechanical mannequins rotated through the presentation, and the collection was subsequently photographed in Austria under the Black Sissi title during the centenary of Empress Elisabeth’s death.
