Concept / Inspiration
The seemingly effortless improvisation of jazz is the relentless refinement of generational heritage, materialized in this collection as the mottled verdigris on aging brass instruments.
To capture time's imprint, l use vegetable-tanned leather, unconventionally hand-staining it with fabric dyes to recreate a natural, breathing patina. Complementing this, digitally programmed knitwear-refined through rigorous yarn experiments and metallic spray techniques-captures the shimmering resonance of oxidizing brass.
Structurally, the pattern making is directly inspired by the flared bells and sweeping contours of wind instruments, translating the uninhibited freedom of jazz into fluid, deconstructed silhouettes. Through this complex material fusion, the profound soul of jazz takes root in the contemporary era, paying homage to a timeless "perfect imperfection."
