JADED ROMANCE / AN OPEN STUDIO
Clothes, images, experiments, and everything in between. A record of what we make and what we notice along the way.
VOL. 01 — AN ONGOING RECORD
A few things made. A few things learned. More to come.
A worn garment, a saved image, a line in a notebook. The starting point does not need to look like the finished piece.
Keep a record of what caught your eye.
From the archive / Restoration & Reconstruction
A garment can be a starting point. Look at its seams, proportions, wear, and the parts worth keeping.
What changes if you keep one detail and rethink the rest?
See Restoration & ReconstructionA print, a stitch, a surface treatment. Small tests leave a record of the choices that eventually become a piece.
Keep the test beside the final version.
From the archive / June Nights to Remember
The piece is only part of the image. The people, location, light, and styling give it a place to belong.
What should the image feel like before anyone reads the caption?
See June Nights to RememberJaded Diaries / Vol. I
Movement, fragments, and the moments around the work. Another way to remember how it felt.
The moments between the planned shots belong in the record, too.
References are a conversation. Keep track of who made the work, what stayed with you, and where it takes your own practice.
One point of departure for this page: Virgil Abloh’s Free Game.
An unfinished archive. Updated as we go.
