notes / 01—05
01
the studio prefers grey light. most shoots are made between 11 and 1.
02
no piece is ever finished in the room it was started in.
03
if a garment can be worn by someone we don't know, it is correct.
04
we do not consult mood boards. we consult bus timetables.
05
the index is the season.
