To live in this era is a quiet yet unending labor. And this invisible effort demands great mastery. A Piece of Work seeks a balance between resisting and escaping in the shadow of global crises and social uncertainty. The collection brings these two opposing impulses together through the language of fashion.

The aesthetic of resistance reinterprets historical workwear forms—such as denim overalls, wax jackets, and work aprons—with the spirit of today. In this approach, as in Irving Penn’s Small Trades series, labor itself is transformed into a portrait.

The escapism aesthetic draws inspiration from floral patterns produced in an umbrella factory in Germany in the late 1960s. These patterns are brought back to life in bags and boots, blending the naivety of the past with the reality of today.

This collection is a quiet tribute to the unseen labor of human hands—an ode to resilience that endures patiently through time, and to the graceful, lasting imprint of craftsmanship.
