Approximately \u003cstrong\u003e200 hours of handwork, developed over a period of three years\u003c\/strong\u003e, are held within its construction.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe geometry is not applied to a finished garment. \u003cstrong\u003eThe geometry is the construction.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eChanges in colour, direction, proportion and texture are worked directly into the piece as it grows, allowing large architectural forms in ivory, natural brown and black to emerge from within the structure itself. Pattern and garment are created simultaneously.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe stitch density was consciously developed to give the garment its particular balance of substance, weight and softness. Its compact surface provides enough structure for the geometry to remain defined while preserving the tactile character of alpaca and merino.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe long, generous silhouette is designed for both men and women. Two handmade ties punctuate the open front, allowing the garment to be loosely closed at different points while preserving its fluidity and architectural shape.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIts apparent simplicity conceals the complexity of its making. Exact reproduction is exceptionally difficult: the construction depends on continuous decisions around tension, proportion, colour placement and geometry. This deliberate complexity is part of the Ebru Gurlek approach to handcrafted apparel—creating pieces whose identity is embedded in how they are made.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eConstructed Geometry No.01 belongs to the same construction language developed through \u003cstrong\u003eConstructed Time No.01\u003c\/strong\u003e, where time itself becomes part of the material: hours accumulated stitch by stitch until an idea becomes form.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCompleted for its future owner\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBefore Constructed Geometry No.01 leaves the house, \u003cstrong\u003ethe initials of its owner will be embroidered by hand into the garment\u003c\/strong\u003e, creating a discreet personal mark that completes the work for the person who will live with it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOnce personalized, final photographs of the completed piece will be taken and sent to the buyer as part of its record.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eOptional Sleeve Commission\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe sleeveless construction is the original form of Constructed Geometry No.01. However, its future owner may request the development of \u003cstrong\u003edetachable external sleeves\u003c\/strong\u003e, created specifically for the piece.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe sleeves will not be conceived as a conventional alteration. Their shape, construction, attachment and relationship with the existing geometry will be developed in consultation with the buyer while preserving the integrity of the original work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause this requires a new design and hand-construction process, \u003cstrong\u003edetachable sleeves are commissioned separately and carry an additional cost\u003c\/strong\u003e, determined after the design consultation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe original piece therefore remains complete as it is, while allowing its future owner to participate in a new chapter of its construction.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThree years.
