Who is V.G ?

Born from the vision of a passionate autodidact, this initiative embodies the art of working with textures and materials to assemble the unassemblable. This is achieved by spending entire days deconstructing and damaging garments to understand their mechanisms through reverse engineering.

Embracing Wabi-Sabi and Boro

Drawing inspiration from the Japanese aesthetic principles of wabi-sabi and the traditional textile art of boro, this initiative celebrates the beauty in imperfection and the art of repair.

Wabi-sabi, a concept rooted in Zen Buddhism and Taoism, emphasizes the beauty of simplicity, naturalness, and the impermanence of all things. It highlights the charm found in the worn and weathered, the incomplete, and the transient.

Similarly, boro, derived from the Japanese term for "rags" or "tattered cloth," represents a form of textile artistry where fabrics are repeatedly mended and repurposed. Originating from the necessity of rural peasants in historical Japan, boro reflects an aesthetic of frugality and resourcefulness, where garments were patched and repaired over generations, resulting in unique, intricate patterns of wear and repair.

Crafting Unique and Timeless Creations

Each piece is meticulously crafted and reworked to transform everyday styles into unique and timeless creations, avoiding the fleeting dictates of contemporary trends. Just as wabi-sabi finds beauty in the aged and imperfect, and boro celebrates the history embedded in every patch and stitch, these creations embody these philosophies by emphasizing the value of imperfection and the beauty of longevity.

In a world increasingly dominated by mass production, this approach is a return to slow design, where every garment is created with care, attention, and a deep respect for the materials. This philosophy is reflected in the use of natural and durable materials.

The garments are more than just statements; they are expressions of a deeper connection to the principles of wabi-sabi and boro. They invite wearers to embrace the imperfect, the worn, and the repaired, and to find beauty in the transient nature of all things. This vision stands at the intersection of art and tradition, where every piece tells a story of resilience, beauty, and timeless elegance.

A Passion for Sustainability

This endeavor represents a personal vision, the result of many years of conceptual realization and artistic exploration. Expertise through studies in supply chain management has provided a deep understanding of current challenges in sourcing and sustainability. This dual competence enriches the approach and vision.

The creations reflect an unwavering passion for art, blending innovation with respect for materials. By integrating wabi-sabi and boro principles, a new approach is proposed that honors the past, values the present, and envisions a sustainable future.

The designs are not merely garments but narratives of transformation, embodying the soul of the materials and the stories they tell.

This commitment to celebrating flaws and imperfections as integral parts of beauty defines the unique vision.
