We were exploring denim back in 2016 đ§”
When material research is driven by vision, it doesnât follow trends it follows its own path.
Created in 2016, this piece is the result of hands-on experimentation with denim, lightened through a process developed in-house to achieve irregular colour contrasts, visual depth and unique tonal variations.
The raw-cut edges, intentionally left frayed, celebrate the fabricâs authentic character, while the sartorial construction creates a dialogue between classic tailoring and contemporary experimentation.
No standardised effects. No uniformity. Just material, technique and an uncompromising attention to detail.
Today, everyone is talking about denim. We were already studying, experimenting with and transforming it in 2016.
Research is not a trend. Itâs a story that continues.
