Misura's
Spring 2002 collection is a well-balanced synergy of bias-cut and symmetrical
seam work. The bias-cut charcoal pinstripe seersucker jacket and pleated
dress uses a fitted waist as a fulcrum point. In keeping with the season,
the subdued spectrum of black, charcoal and glacier is livened with crimson
and salmon pieces. A razor-sharp crimson two-piece suit with triangular
pleats marks a refreshing return to symmetry. The mauve jersey one-piece
with flip-fold gatherings, in addition to the many pieces featuring triangular
rear seams, portrays the gentle constructivist leanings that make Caoc's
silhouettes so distinct. The true balance is struck with filamented lace
shoulder-straps, tassles and other incorporated accessories that lend
deliacy to the entire collection. The only confusing element is the vague
country premise 'Misura County', which probably had more to do with the
location than with the collection.
Joeffer Caoc,
describes for us his tight-wire balancing act. "I
like to design things which are opposite. I'm negotiating the two dichotomies
of hard tailoring and assymetrical bias cut." Working with
the Toronto Film Festival and designing for such stars as Molly Parker
and Angela Bassett is giving Misura the high visibility that a Canadian
designer of his level deserves.
On a career track like this, the sky's the limit.
