ARCHIVIO

Reading the time and memory held within
garments and materials from the past,
and carrying them into new forms.

A limited collection made in Italy
using antique textiles and buttons.

_RIforma

One-of-a-kind pieces reconstructed
from elements of early twentieth-century garments.

Their history and tactile memory are preserved
while they are given new forms
and new meaning.

traces of time

Antique textiles,
aged buttons,
sewing threads,
irregularities and imperfections.

The passage of time within each material
remains part of the work.

Made slowly without overlocking,
these traces are preserved
and carried forward into a new life.
