The collection began with a handful of visual obsessions. The ancient craft of paper marbling. The universal optimism of the smiley face. The unapologetic corniness of flame graphics. Individually they had little in common, but together they created an unexpected visual language.
They came from completely different corners of visual culture, yet somehow all felt universally familiar. The collection explored the odd harmony that emerged when those symbols collided.
Those ideas were carried through every decision. Original marbled papers were created by hand, scanned, and developed into repeating prints before being digitally printed onto silk in Italy. A rare Japanese linen denim challenged expectations of a traditionally utilitarian fabric, while calf suede jackets were fully lined in silk charmeuse. Italian hardware and custom lambskin pin badges completed each piece, treating every detail with the same level of care as the garments themselves.
