Between structure
and movement.

Essay

A visual study of tailoring, material and the spaces between form and motion.

The house begins each season with weight rather than shape. A wool is chosen for how it falls when the body stops moving; a silk for how long it keeps the memory of a gesture. Structure is then subtracted until only what holds the line remains.

What follows is not decoration but proportion: shoulder against sleeve, hem against floor, the interval of negative space that lets a garment be read from across a room.
