Statement

SS26 uses a fine nylon woven from recycled fishing-net yarn. Heat-set pleats give the dry fabric volume; water draws it down towards the body. Cotton poplin provides a firmer base for the shirts.

The presentation is set in a warehouse beside the Tennozu canal, with shallow water across the floor. As the hems take up water, the pleats fall and the silhouette lengthens.
