(OPEN) This capsule is inspired by our love for sports, performance, and our childhood heroes. While creating we looked at many sources of inspiration. One of them was the Williams sisters playing at Wimbledon. We studied the power they yield when they compete, and how much force their presence holds. Which takes shape in some of the silhouettes in our garments. We were also inspired by afro-futurism, Andre 3000, and the essence of Sun Ra.

We chose to release this set of cut-and-sew garments first because it highlights exactly what we’re all about. The future, structure, movement, and enabling the ability to feel (OPEN). These are some of the early pieces we designed, so we’re excited for y’all to see the progression from here.
