In our latest design endeavor, we have crafted a stunning pair of sheer leggings, adorned with silver embroidery and mirrored metallic beads. These leggings are more than just a fashion statement-they are a tribute to the intricate beauty and rich history of old Lebanese arc-shaped windows. Join us on a journey through our inspiration process which lead to the creation of our pattern.
1. The inspiration Process:
The inspiration for these leggings came from the mesmerizing designs of old Lebanese arc-shaped windows, a hallmark of Lebanese architecture, combining elements from Phoenician, Roman, Byzantine, and Islamic traditions. The geometric patterns, floral motifs, and calligraphic elements found in these windows are not only visually striking, but also carry deep cultural significance.
The integration of those elements fosters a sense of community and cultural identity. They serve as daily reminders of the region’s historical and spiritual heritage, anchoring modern life in the values and aesthetics of the past.
2. Creating The Pattern:
As we delved into the history and aesthetics of these windows, we were captivated by their delicate lattice work, intricate carvings, and the play of light through stained glass. We then extracted all these elements and began to compose them into a harmonious blend. The symmetry and repetition of geometric patterns, combined with the elegance of floral and calligraphic motifs, provided a rich tapestry of design elements to draw from.
By incorporating these traditional elements into our leggings, we aim to honor the legacy of Lebanese artisans while creating a modern and wearable piece of art. The detailed work involved in creating these designs showcases the skill and dedication of local artisans. Each pattern and motif is a result of careful study, reinterpretation, and craftsmanship.
3. Our Creation:
Our sheer leggings are designed to celebrate the body, using the patterns inspired by Lebanese windows to enhance and flatter the figure. The silver embroidery follows vertical lines along the legs, which elongates the silhouette and creates a slimming effect. These lines are paired with meticulously placed curves and geometric shapes along the hips. This draws the eye to key areas of the body, highlighting curves and creating an overall balanced look.
