The collection uses the archetype of a forgotten attic to bring into question the value of objects and to ask, What is worth keeping? There is a particular emphasis on how people interact with objects and assign them significance throughout time. This synergy is explored through looks that capture a sense of the old and the new while allowing the wearer to decide their value.
