Photographed in Paris, May 2025. Two pieces, two registers, one drop.
"Mythology in streetwear is well-trodden. Done without specificity it reads as decoration. We chose two traditions: Roman intimacy. Greek ambition. Two emotional registers that don't agree."
Cupid in classical engraving, held by a heavy Blackletter wordmark. Typography carries the weight, the figure carries the feeling.
"The contrast between Roman intimacy and Greek ambition is the concept. The garments carry that contrast without explaining it."
The griffin rendered with atmospheric depth — smoke at the edges, light breaking through the wings. The phrase beneath isn't decoration: it's identity.
"The typography does the work of modernising. The illustration does the work of grounding. Neither piece explains itself — and neither needs to."
