Design study / 001

Exposure / concealment

Our first design study: garments that reveal the body while protecting the person wearing them.

An open sketchbook on a studio desk, showing a pencil study of a flowing gown beside fabric swatches, pencils and reference photos.

We began with a contradiction. A hood that encloses. A bolero that leaves space. A tube top that makes no attempt to disappear.

The relationship matters more than any one part. Protection and sensuality are not opposites. Anonymity does not have to mean absence.

The hood is a starting point for exploring facial-recognition obfuscation, not a claim of proven protection. Any functional claims will require testing. For now, this is a study of form, visibility and choice.

Some pieces will carry an idea. Others will simply be beautiful. There is room for both.
