DESCRIPTION:
THE CROPPED RHIZOME PUFFER IS THE INTRODUCTION PIECE TO THE RHIZOME COLLECTION OF GARMENTS. THIS SEASON WE CREATED A SERIES OF ‘RHIZOME’ GARMENTS THAT ARE CONSTRUCTED ON A CELLULAR LEVEL. EACH SHAPE IS VERY SIMILAR TO THE LAST, EACH OF THE INDIVIDUAL COMPONENTS ARE CONSTRUCTED TOGETHER TO MAKE A WHOLE.
THIS GARMENT FEATURES SILK POCKETS AND PAINTED SNAPS TO GIVE THE WEARER THE OPTION TO DETACH THE SLEEVES OR ADD ON THE ADDITION OF THE RHIZOME TRAIN AS SEEN IN THE RHIZOME ELONGATED PUFFER.
THE RHIZOME PUFFER IS A STATEMENT OUTERWEAR PIECE THAT COMFORTS THE WEARER IN A SOFT SUIT OF TRANSLUCENT PILLOW-LIKE PUFFS MADE OF SILK ORGANZA AND WOOL BATTING. IT IS LIGHTWEIGHT, AND DELICATE, YET PRESENTS THE WEARER TO THE WORLD IN AN EXTRAVAGANT ELEGANT FASHION.
WE PUSHED THIS PROCESS A STEP FURTHER, RESULTING IN THE REVERSE EXO RHIZOME JACKET, A ZERO WASTE COUNTERPART PIECE PATTERNED FROM THE NEGATIVE SPACE CUT OUTS OF THE RHIZOME PUFFER CELLULAR SHAPES.
SUSTAINABILITY:
THIS PIECE IS DESIGNED TO TAKE THE PLACE OF MULTIPLE GARMENTS IN A WARDROBE LIMITING WASTE. ALL SCRAPS FROM THE CUTTING PROCESS OF THIS GARMENT WILL BE SAVED AND REUSED IN NEW DESIGNS. ALL PAPER SCRAPS USED TO CREATE PATTERNS FOR THIS GARMENT ARE ALSO SAVED TO BE REUSED AS PACKAGING.

MANUFACTURING: HAVING COMPLETE CONTROL OF THE MANUFACTURING PROCESS IS VERY IMPORTANT, THIS GARMENT IS CUT AND SEWN IN KENT, OHIO BY A VERY SMALL TEAM OF SKILLED CRAFTS PEOPLE. AFTER THE GARMENT IS FULLY CONSTRUCTED, IT IS THEN PACKAGED IN HOUSE.
WE CREATE GARMENTS THAT SHIFT AND CHANGE WITH THE WAY THE WEARER IS FEELING. THIS GARMENT IS MEANT TO EVOLVE OVER TIME AND CREATE BEAUTIFUL AGE MARKINGS THAT WILL BE COMPLETELY UNIQUE TO YOU, THE WEARER. WE HOPE EVERY GARMENT WE PRODUCE CREATES A MORE GENUINE CONNECTION BETWEEN THE WEARER AND THE OBJECTS THAT INFORMED THESE DESIGNS.
