Black does not announce itself. It waits for the light to move.

Then the surface changes. Eyelets punched and seated one at a time across a cotton body. Pintucks stitched first, then set with discs cut from the same poplin. Botanical work crocheted directly onto leather. Every piece here is black and no two are the same black.

This is the line that runs through the house, from the first collection to the current one. Cropped blazers built unlined so the shoulder holds and the body falls. Wide-leg trousers that keep a pleat from waist to hem. Shirts with an apple-cut hem, shorter at the front than the back. Pinstripe suiting. Patchwork denim pieced by hand.

Wear it to the dinner or for the night that runs long.
