Intimate Relations series
Honoured in a series of patchwork jackets since 2016, the blue workwear jacket is hand-stitched with patches covering the garment, underlining the craft and labour so closely connected to its original purpose, altering something precious and intimately familiar.
French indigo fabrics and sustainable, responsible khadi cottons from India further bring out the innate poetry of the blue classic.
'The intimate relations, lasting longer than a season that we all develop with one or more items in our wardrobe, are not deemed of interest here. Our attachment to apparel is not to its liking. It has won the battle if not the war. It has instituted the reign of the disposable, and the short-term.'
