This collection aims to reinstate people’s commitment and evolving relationship to their wardrobes through visible signs of well-deserved wear and tear, such as mending and color fade, which showcase the wearer’s physical dependence on the garments. What’s the Rush? honors the lasting, intimate connection between wearer and garment, finding beauty in the commitment to longevity and imperfection.
