This collection is inspired by the spirit of adventure and exploration, drawing from early-to-mid 20th-century expeditions and the nostalgic energy of the 2000s extreme sports scene. It pays homage to legendary explorers such as Roald Amundsen, Robert Scott, and Sir Edmund Hillary, whose bravery and connection to nature left a lasting impression on history. The aesthetic reflects both their distinctive styles and the traditional clothing of the native peoples they encountered.

Rooted in personal memory, the concept was sparked by my teenage trips to remote areas of the UK—Northwest Wales, Northern Scotland, and the Lake District—where I sought refuge from life in the London commuter belt. These experiences shaped my relationship with nature, history, and utilitarian clothing, and now inform the visual and emotional language of the collection.
