Scotland's Isle of Skye is a landscape of irregularities, shaped by wind, waves, and time. Its sheer cliffs, meandering ridgelines, and weathered rock faces reveal a beauty that nature creates not through straight lines, but through flux. Like the serpentine curve that 18th-century painter William Hogarth called the "Line of Beauty," the island holds an allure that defies prediction. Together with Piczo, we traced the marks of time etched into both landscape and garment.
New York-based artist Yojiro Imasaka documents natural landscapes through wet plate collodion photography using glass negatives. Behind his choice of this technically demanding, experience-intensive process lies a resolute commitment to "creating things that transcend time." Even in an era of advancing digitalization, his pursuit of the value of craftsmanship — one that spares neither time nor effort — deeply resonates with our own approach to making clothes, each piece imbued with intention. Our dialogue with him became an opportunity to rediscover the very origins of making things.
