Creation demands suffering. The paradox of pursuit. Purgatorio is a series of deconstructed and subversive tailored looks depicting one’s descent through, ambition, obsession, and ruin. A requiem not for the dead but for the living who forget to live.

Jan Isada is a tailor whose work explore the boundaries between tradition and transformation. Through the language of clothes he reinterprets the classic methods of tailoring, blending precision with emotion. He seeks not only to construct garments but to deconstruct the ideals they represent

The tailoring process has always intrigued me. A garment undergoes multiple fittings, and revisions; It is a nonstop learning process. I based the collection around tailoring as it requires technical precision and mastery. To make a single garment requires years of training and failures before achieving success. From this process I learned to understand the rules first, then playing with them, breaking them, and discovering something new. The collection becomes a careful deconstruction of what tailoring represents.
