Pliora Nr°03

Adele Frank’s world exists at the intersection of fashion and fine art. A place where elegance meets concept, and craftsmanship meets emotion.

Her work is defined by a unique visual and technical dialogue between garments and paintings. At the heart of this dialogue lies her signature crumpled sewing application technique, which transforms flat surfaces into three-dimensional textures.  Inspired by the forms of 19th-century bustle dresses, it brings a sense of movement, depth, and individuality to each creation.

From canvas and metal to pearls and pigment, Adele Frank’s accessories — including pendants, boleros, necklaces, and buttons — extend the language of her clothing into wearable art. These pieces echo the motifs and materials found in her larger works, forming a harmonious whole. Together, they create not only a collection, but a world. A world where the wearer becomes an inseparable part of the artwork itself.

Each piece in the Pliora series meticulously crafted to be a unique work of art. Due to the highly personal and intricate nature of the crumpled sewing application technique, no two pieces can ever be replicated. These creations are an expression of individuality, where texture, form, and craftsmanship converge in a way that is entirely singular. Once a piece is complete, it is never reproduced, ensuring that every wearer owns something entirely exclusive.
