Around seven years ago, my attention started to drift towards furniture and architecture. These disciplines don't seem to suffer from quite the same level of absurd seasonality or the incessant need for newness like the world of clothing. A well-made chair can come in a few species of wood or a few colors of oil finish - it doesn't get a different spindle size or shape of leg just for the novelty of being new every six months as so often happens with clothing. On the contrary, a successful and iconic furniture design can be produced for decades, relatively unchanged.

I gravitate towards that kind of continuity. With clothing, my goal is to strip a garment down to the most elemental version of itself, so that it doesn’t need to be reinvented or altered every season. I prefer instead to focus on material, seeking new expressions in rare and beautiful textiles that bring different personalities and feelings to the same forms.
