FLOURISHING FROM A TWO YEAR PERIOD OF EXTENSIVE EXPLORATION AND QUESTIONING, WITH AN EVEN SLOWER STUDIO OUTPUT, OUR SECOND READY-TO-WEAR COLLECTION WAS INFORMED BY THE ONGOING CONVERSATIONS SURROUNDING OUR CURRENT SOCIETAL MODES OF OPERATION.
BEGINNING IN MID-2023, WITH A CURISOITY IN CORPORATE DRESS, A LOOSE NARRATIVE OF A CORPORATE WORKER SEEKING A LIFE OF MORE DEEPER CONNECTION BECAME THE VEHICULE FOR THE THESIS TO FULLY EVOLVE. IT BECAME AN EXAMINATION OF OUR POSITIONS AS ‘WORKERS’ AND HOW THIS, IN TURN, EFFECTS OUR RELATIONSHIPS WITH OURSELVES, ONE ANOTHER AND THE WORLD AROUND US, SPECIFICALLY OUR CONNECTION TO THE NATURAL WORLD.
THE NARRATIVE CONCLUDED WITH THE RECONNECTION OF THE CORPORATE WORKER’S SELF THROUGH A SLOWER PACED LIFESTYLE. A RECOGNITION OF NATURE AS OUR ULTIMATE PROTECTOR. THE CONNECTION BETWEEN EACH OTHER AS WHAT BINDS A COLLECTIVE OPTIMISM.
COLLABORATION REMAINS A KEY CORNER STONE IN OUR PRACTICE THAT WE FURTHER PUSHED WITH THIS BODY OF WORK. OUR COLLABORATORS THIS COL. INCLUDE JULIETTE NICOL, ANGELIQUE NICOL, MYRTLE WILD AND JESSE JACKSON A.K.A BBY J
THE CONCLUSIONS WE HAVE DRAWN FROM OUR REFLECTIONS
THE PILLARS THAT DEFINE THIS COLLECTION ARE SIMPLE: EMBRACE ARTISAN, EMBRACE NATURE, EMBRACE EACH OTHER. THESE ARE IDYLLIC PILLARS THAT OURSELVES, AS A LABEL, ARE STILL TRYING TO ACHIEVE. THIS BODY OF WORK.
THE REFLECTIVE NATURE OF THE PRESENT TIMES, AS WE WATCH THE GLOBAL CULTURE REGRESS INTO CONSERVATIVE WAYS OF THINKING, PRESENTED US WITH THE TASK TO REVALUATE OUR OUTPUT AND WHAT IT MEANS TO BE A FASHION LABEL. HOW DO WE CONTINUE TO CONNECT WITH REAL PEOPLE, AND SPREAD A MESSAGE OF BOTH STRENGTH AND LOVE WHILE BEING TRUTHFUL TO THE STATE OF THE WORLD, AND THE WORK NEEDED TO ATTAIN PEACE.
