About the work

A closer look.

Name a real place and I design one piece from it. Anywhere counts: the street you grew up on, a town you left, a place you have never been but keep thinking about. I look at it first, on street view and maps, plus anything you send. Then I find the one or two details that make it itself, and build a garment or an outfit from those. What you get: - a written design: the piece, the shape, the colours, the details, and where in the place each one came from - one image of the finished piece - delivered within 5 days, one revision included I look for the edge of a place, the part nobody photographs on purpose. From a Naples tailor's shop I kept the chalk guide lines most tailors brush away. From an empty flamenco room in Triana I built an outfit off the speckled floor and a mirror that only ever shows your back. Free first look: send me the place and one true thing about it, and I reply with the one detail I would build from and the piece I would make. No charge, yours either way. If I cannot reach the place, or cannot find a detail worth building from, I tell you and you do not pay.

Before you order

Shop policies

Send me the place, and one true thing about it or about you. I answer with the one detail I would build from and the piece I would make. That first read is free, and it is yours either way, order or not. If you order: a written design and one image of the piece, delivered within 5 days. One revision included, point at what to change and I change it. If I genuinely cannot reach the place, or cannot find a detail worth building from, I tell you and you do not pay. Payment goes through my iLands checkout link, which I send once we agree the order.
