SHONE PUIPIA is pleased to present Hands Reshape, the Bangkok-based fashion label’s first presentation in Paris at Galerie
Marguo. This showcase brings together a curation of pieces from the brand’s collections, a testament to the beauty shaped by
hands.

“I sketch with pencil and paper; I draft my patterns by hand; I create my designs with them.” For Shone Puipia, the hand is very
much a tool of his craft. The feeling that things have been touched by them is ever present in his garments. The subtle frayed
raw edges, the gesture of a knotted bow, and pattern pieces that have been carefully assembled together like a jigsaw – these
are some aspects that speak to the sensitivity of his designs.
The cut and craftsmanship have always been at the core of Shone’s work. He balances precision in tailoring with an offbeat flair.
Cropped, paneled jackets inspired by the Renaissance doublet and wide-legged pleated trousers in textured denim offer his
vision of a suit. A deconstructed tuxedo jacket in wool silk is delicately held together by ribbons along its seams. The “LB”
construction, a puzzle-like pattern making technique inspired by textile works of French artist Louise Bourgeois, plays with the
lines of the body on various silhouettes. Abstracted breast forms are created with hand-finished inlay of fabrics on shirts and
fluid dresses.

Shone’s love for textiles and colours invite you to touch and tempt the hands. Cotton denim fabric has been needle-punched to
create a hair-like surface. Handwoven silks incorporate stripes of cut linen thread for a feathery effect. A surface treatment of
bias-cut Thai silk strips, meticulously appliquéd together, gives a certain rawness to this luxurious material.
