STORY
Through the ages, our planet has shaped nature’s great mysteries. Memories of Iceland’s landscapes, seen through the prism of the creative team, have become a source of inspiration.
Wide faults cut through a rugged landscape, moss-covered volcanic rocks glisten in the sunlight and crystalline glaciers stretch as far as the eye can see.

Baked Stretch ** continues its evolution, bringing more suppleness to the garment. Images of Icelandic landscapes appear between the irregular pleats, like memories that change and fade over time.
** Baked Stretch is a process in which a special glue is applied to the fabric before it is “baked”, permanently shaping the pleat.

“CUBE”, a textile created by combining a multitude of square pieces of fabric. The flat garment forms a square and transforms into 3 dimensions when worn. These fragments of memory link together to reconstitute our memory.
