AN EGG IN THESE TRYING TIMES

In this collaborative collection, garments are created from naturally dyed and responsibly sourced materials. Conceived during the COVID lockdown, they provide a distinct departure from conventional loungewear, drawing inspiration from resort wear tailoring and fabric. The materials chosen for their ethical origins reflect a deep respect for the environment and the skilled artisans involved in the production process. Natural dyes are derived from botanical sources including avocado, pomegranate, indigo, madder root, and chlorophyll. The results of our dye tests imbue the garments with soft, earthy tones, reminiscent of the serene colors found in nature. The designs prioritize relaxed silhouettes, breathable fabrics, and meticulous attention to detail, intended to embrace the wearer in a warm hug. "An egg in these trying times" embodies the spirit of adaptability and the beauty that can emerge from adversity. The pieces invite wearers to momentarily escape the constraints of their surroundings and embark on a whimsical journey of self-expression and care. Ultimately, it encourages wearers to rediscover the pleasure of dressing up through a sense of playfulness and harmony within the sanctuary of one's home.
