Atrium: Twelve Rooms

An atrium is a room that is also a route. You pass through it more often than you sit in it, and it sets the temperature of everything around it. The collection borrows that: pieces that are not the point of an outfit but decide how the rest of it behaves.

The cloth was chosen for the hour before the heat. Dry cotton that creases and stays creased. Sandwashed silk with enough weight to hang straight. Tailoring taken off the canvas entirely, so a jacket folds into a bag without a mark.

Twelve looks, photographed in a courtyard at six in the morning, when the walls are still cold.
