Summer 2007 Collection
SPIDER HOUSE represents its Summer 2007 Collection of… parachutes. The designer’s class realized the idea and transformed parachutes into summer clothing, following the Gemisheva trademark for fashion and style. The Mariela Gemisheva brand stands for clothes that can think, clothes that work with symbols, and clothes that have the dual nature of being absent and present, being here and there, in and out of the body, and in and out of oneself. The parachute pattern is also a cobweb. As it is magically turned into practical summer clothing, it retains a memory of the symbolic and dream-like meshwork of lines, figures, legends and feelings. The spiders are twofold creatures: they live in the corners of the house, on the edge of the visible space, and yet, they extend and open this space by spinning their webs on places abandoned. The spiders are also creatures of symbols. They would weave into their shapely web the sun, the balance, the harmony they symbolize. They stand for fertility and carry predominantly female features.
A spider is the centre of the Earth, slowly parachuting down the air, descending as if coming from nowhere.
