Nestor Pestana & Deborah Tchoudjinoff

Nestor Pestana and Deborah Tchoudjinoff undertook the 2015 Fashion Space Gallery Design Residency as a collaborative partnership, investigating the material and poetic possibilities of garment construction.

Their residency explored the boundaries between pattern-cutting, textile experimentation and sculptural form — producing a body of work that questioned conventional approaches to silhouette, material and the relationship between garment and body.

The residency culminated in a presentation of new work at Fashion Space Gallery, accompanied by a series of events exploring collaborative practice in fashion design.
