THIS SEASON’S COLLECTION IS TITLED ‘TOWER’, AS IN “TEMPLE OF LOVE, TOWER OF LIGHT” – A
PRAYER FOR LOVE AND HOPE.
AND STRENGTH AND PROTECTION.
TOWER SHEATHS OPENING THE SHOW ARE CUT IN GLOSSY BULL LEATHER, BOILED WOOL, OR KEVLAR
– A FIBER 5 TIMES STRONGER THAN STEEL, TRADITIONALLY USED IN PROTECTIVE CLOTHING SUCH AS
BODY ARMOR. OUR KEVLAR CANVAS IS WOVEN IN COMO, ITALY, BY A THIRD-GENERATION, FAMILYOWNED
MILL THAT HAS BEEN SPECIALIZED IN PERFORMANCE WEAR SINCE ITS FOUNDING IN 1952.
TRANSFORMABLE OUTERWEAR IS COMPOSED OF CROPPED JACKETS THAT CAN BE WORN ON THEIR
OWN, OR LAYERED OVER A LONGER, COORDINATING VEST TO MAKE YOU A TOWER.
THESE PIECES COME IN HEAVY BUT MALLEABLE WAXY COWHIDE, TANNED IN SANTA CROCE
SULL’ARNO, TUSCANY, ITALY, OR FLUFFY, BRUSHED AND WASHED ALPACA, OR RWS CERTIFIED BOILED
WOOL – WOVEN IN TUSCANY AS WELL. RWS ENSURES A HIGH STANDARD IN ANIMAL WELFARE,
ENVIRONMENTAL SUSTAINABILITY, AND SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY. EACH BALE OF WOOL IS TRACEABLE
BACK TO ITS SOURCE.
MELANGE WOOLS ARE WOVEN BY A FIFTH-GENERATION MILL SITUATED IN THE BISHŪ REGION OF
JAPAN, RENOWNED FOR ITS LONG TRADITION OF TAILORED WOOL, AS WELL AS BY BONOTTO, A 4TH
GENERATION TEXTILE MILL FOUNDED IN 1912, SITUATED JUST BELOW THE PREALPS IN VENETO, ITALY.
TOWER FLIGHT JACKETS AND TOWER MINI MANTLES ARE EXECUTED IN THICK 8MM FELT, HANDCRAFTED
IN A SMALL ATELIER IN BIKANER, RAJASTHAN, NORTHERN INDIA. RAW, UNTREATED HIMALAYAN
WOOL IS CARDED INTO FLOCKS, DIVIDED BY THEIR NATURAL COLORS AND MIXED TOGETHER BY THE
ARTISAN TO CREATE THE VEIN PATTERN VISIBLE IN THE FINISHED FELT.
INDUSTRIAL INDIGO CANVAS IS SOURCED IN JAPAN AND WASHED IN OUR ITALIAN WASH HOUSE
BASED IN THE VENETO AREA OF ITALY, WHICH PRODUCES IN SMALLER TREATMENT BATHS TO REDUCE
WATER WASTE AND UTILIZE A WATER PURIFYING PROCESS THAT ENABLES THEM TO RECYCLE A
PORTION OF THE WATER USED. ALL OF OUR DENIM WASHES ARE ZDHC CERTIFIED.
HAND-CROCHETED KNITS IN SILK/CASHMERE ARE A COLLAB WITH @SARUTANYA, WHO HAS BEEN
MODELING FOR OUR COLLECTION FITTINGS AND AS PART OF OUR E-COMMERCE FAMILY FOR THE
PAST 10 YEARS.
SILK/CASHMERE YARNS ARE ALSO USED FOR HAND-TUFTED JACKETS IN COLLABORATION WITH
PARIS-BASED TEXTILE ARTIST JULIA TROFIMOVA, WHO INTERNED WITH US AT OUR FACTORY IN
CONCORDIA, ITALY, BEFORE MOVING ON TO DEVELOP HER OWN PRACTICE.
HAND-TIED MACRAME TOWER GOWNS ARE A COLLAB WITH LONDON-BASED DESIGNER @LUCAS____
MORETTI. EACH GOWN REQUIRES 4000M OF WAXED CORD AND OVER 50 MEDITATIVE HOURS TO
COMPLETE.
COTTON CANDY-COLORED LONG HAIR GOAT HIDES ARE WATER-JET CUT INTO NETTING AND LINKED
TOGETHER TO CREATE MY BRUTALIST TOWER INTERPRETATION OF MARLENE DIETRICH’S LEGENDARY
SWANSDOWN COAT WORN DURING HER FINAL CABARET YEARS.
I’VE OFTEN REFERRED TO MY ADMIRATION FOR MARLENE DIETRICH AND THE DIGNIFIED SEQUENCE
OF HER LIFE’S STAGES:
PHASE ONE AS A STEELY GLITTERING SEXUAL PROVOCATEUR
PHASE TWO AS AN EXAMPLE OF DUTY AND SERVICE DURING WARTIME
PHASE THREE AS A TIGHTLY-CONTROLLED CABARET ACT, SPARINGLY STAGED WITH ONLY A SHEER
DRESS, A HUGE WHITE CLOUD OF A COAT AND A PINK SPOTLIGHT.
SHE ALWAYS STRUCK ME AS HAVING A VERY ATTRACTIVE MIX OF MORALITY AND ARTIFICE WITH A
STRONG SENSE OF RESPONSIBILITY AND GRIT
HAIR AND MAKEUP IS A COLLAB WITH @FIGA.LINK, A BERLIN-BASED DIGITAL CREATOR WHOSE WORK
IS THE REACTIVE PROTEST TO THE CONDITIONS AROUND US THAT I AM ALWAYS LOOKING FOR.
ALL OUR HIDES ARE FOOD BYPRODUCTS.
