Inlaid Skin

Decorates the body with insets (or offsets) of synthetic lace-like soft tissue. These decorative skin grafts — like scarfs — are accessories that can be draped and wrapped around the body. Mandrescu considers her ethereal collection as "versatile surfaces" or fabrics suited to beautify both the human body and architectural interiors. The inlaid pieces, due to their flexibility and ease in manipulation, can be attached and wrapped around the body. The colour and the translucent quality of the material used can give the illusion of an 'inlaid' skin as the surface of the accessory becomes almost one with the skin, or a three dimensional extension of the skin.
