About
My hand leads my work. Drawing plays an important role in my creative process, allowing ideas to emerge intuitively through the hand before being translated into three-dimensional forms.
I am particularly interested in the construction of garments and in challenging the possibilities of pattern cutting, constantly questioning, turning and rethinking patterns to discover new ways for a garment to exist around the body. Technical knowledge and functionality are fundamental to my approach, as I believe contemporary clothing should not only communicate visually, but also respond to the needs and possibilities of the present.
Alongside construction, I pay close attention to the visual balance of each character I create, considering silhouette, proportion and colour as interconnected elements. My practice explores the space between technical precision and visual sensitivity, seeking to create garments with both a strong identity and a considered relationship with the body.
Mariona Panés i Coromina’s collection, Escala del 7 al buit, explores linearity and the impossibility of confining it to a fixed axis. Conceived as an open system rather than a closed collection, the project continuously redefines itself through garments that exist both individually and as part of a larger whole. Reinterpreting classical menswear codes through a contemporary lens, elongated silhouettes emerge through cuts and seams, while garments interact with both the body and one another. Textiles move along a continuous scale from technical, compact materials to lighter surfaces, with subtle shifts in colour and construction encouraging closer observation. Working almost exclusively in black, Panés i Coromina explores differences in texture, rigidity, weave, relief, satin and matte finishes, roughness, and the varying presence of darkness within the fabric itself.
