Experiments
Self-initiated work
and open questions.
Research, speculation, and projects without clients. This is where we test ideas before they become applicable.
Why
Client work answers specific questions. Experiments let us ask our own. This practice of inquiry keeps our perspective fresh and our methods evolving. Some experiments inform future projects; others remain explorations. Both have value.

Open Questions
What we're currently thinking about:
- "How might garment construction learn from vernacular architecture?"
- "What does sustainable luxury mean when materials become scarce?"
- "Can clothing carry cultural memory without becoming costume?"
