ESTRADA "C-7" FLARED DENIM PANTS WITH STRIPES

A formal-casual trouser developed as part of a study translating automotive precision, Diesel construction language, and UK drill aesthetics into a tailored silhouette.

The piece is defined by a vertically structured graphic system, where red linear insertions run across a black base—creating a controlled visual rhythm that elongates and reshapes the leg. These lines act as both a visual guide and a structural intervention, reinforcing direction, movement, and alignment.

The silhouette expands into a wide-leg form, maintaining a tailored waistband and upper structure while releasing volume through the lower section. This contrast generates tension between formal discipline and street-driven proportion.

Constructed through pattern development and iterative prototyping, the trousers explore how surface design can actively influence perception of form, rather than simply decorate it.
