REVERENCE

Wearing Willful Stillness
Wearing a deliberate stillness

REVERENCE is clothing that connects with the depths of our sensibilities.
Appearance conveys a will without words.
This serenity comes from the strength of choice and an unwavering gaze.

PROJECT#13 REVERENCE
is a collection of silhouettes inspired by the temperament of the textiles from which they are constructed. The ethereal Eri and Shuliang silk in particular, laboriously crafted with inherited wisdoms, give way to garments that are pensive and considerate, while also calling on us to linger and deepen our awareness.

Textures, from the densest cotton canvas to robust clouds of mohair, alluding to elements that nurtured them into being, imbue the pieces with a subtle playfulness and fluidity that defy duality. Our bodies sheltered in these supple shields, a gentle but rugged cradle, propelling us towards the offing with a quiet effervescence.

These fabrics hold an accumulated depth, of the cycle from earth to root to light, arriving at colors too elusive to name. The emergent hues complex as the process, as love.

Reverence is an embodiment of the unwavering devotion to craftsmanship, with respect for the elements that we derive our strength from. The garments prod us to stand steady and spirited while simultaneously pointing to our fragility. Bold silhouettes—from tall stand collars and cinched trousers, to the mohair beret and hand-made tassels—carry delicate sentiments beyond solemn pragmatism.

In reimagining the military silhouettes, the collection takes inspiration from the uniform's versatile utilitarian qualities but remains radical in its insistence on fluid structures and individualized forms.

Handcrafted silk fabrics, padded or otherwise, together with wools sourced with an emphasis on naturally breathable insulation, lend the garments volume while staying light.

The pieces take time to unveil their generosity and contradictions in unexpected ways. A slow reveal, with fabrics subdued and soft-spoken, that hold on to a certain enigma, demanding we alter our vision to absorb their gleam.

Lamine Diouf's handwoven design, of understated complexity, epitomizes the essence of this collection, with an exacting attention to each filament and their relevance on the woven plane.

Expressions of Romanticism with high functionality, the garments support with comfort and protection, lifting and urging us forward.

PROJECT#13 REVERENCE

Clothing with a sense of tranquility

REVERENCE is
We listen carefully to the "temperament" that resides in the textile itself,
The shape that is derived from this is...
This is a collection of silhouettes in which thought and body, sensibility and structure quietly resonate with each other.

Delicate materials such as Eri silk and Shurian silk are
It was born from the craftsmanship and wisdom passed down through generations.
His expression was deep and quiet,
It gives you a moment to stop and think in your daily life.

Dense cotton canvas,
The softness of mohair with a floating feel—
The background and environment of each material become textures,
It is expressed as a "presence" rather than an emotion.

By gently wrapping the body in them,
It is imbued with a quiet dynamism and gives you the power to look far into the distance.
Being protected yet being free.
These are the clothes that convey that feeling.

Materials, Structure, and What Lies Between Them

REVERENCE is
A deep respect for craftsmanship,
It was born from an attitude of listening to the voice of the material itself.

High stand collar,
A silhouette that gently shapes your contours,
Handcrafted tassels and soft mohair shadows.
They go beyond practicality,
It leaves a subtle aftertaste deep within the senses.

Strength and flexibility.
Quietness and presence.
Both are equally interwoven.

Reconstructed uniforms

This collection is
While inspired by the functionality and structural beauty of military uniforms,
By adding individual freedom and flexibility to it,
It is changing into a "philosophy to be worn."

Airy silk padding.
Carefully selected wool for its natural breathability.
The texture of handwoven fabric with reduced tension.
Each piece combines lightness and three-dimensionality,
It gently brings out your own contours.

Expressions that unfold over time

REVERENCE clothing is
I won't tell you everything right away.

In a modest tone of voice,
Depth and contradiction overlap,
It slowly dissolves over time...
This process of "opening" is what makes these clothes so appealing.

The luster emerges depending on the light.
The soft movement that appears as the wind passes through.
These "subtle changes"
Changing the wearer's perspective,
It gently shakes the senses.

Sceneries layered on a single thread

Handwoven fabric by Senegalese maker Lamine Diouf.
It symbolizes the spirit of REVERENCE.

Modest, quiet, yet precise.
The care put into the movement of each thread
It creates a deep and rich atmosphere on the surface of the garment.

Feelings, not structure.
Quality over quantity.
It's not an excessive explanation, but a breathing presence.
This fabric certainly embodies that attitude.

Clothing that embodies emotion

REVERENCE clothing is
While providing comfort and functionality,
It also gently adds a sense of quietness and depth that you may suddenly return to in your daily life.

By wearing this clothing,
My senses gradually become clearer,
Like being able to see far into the distance...
Such a change in sensibility comes quietly.

It is not a "dress" for someone else,
To become aware of your own contours,
It may be one form of it.

PROJECT#13 REVERENCE

Nature and materials, structure and space, stillness and strength.
The dialogue that arises between them is connected through the form of clothing.
Without being bound by gender or age, we can freely and deeply express our individual sensibilities.
REVERENCE is a collection that quietly touches upon the essence of what it means to wear clothes.
