UNTAILORED

Photographed by Hunter Petersen

It's the 1980s. Stuck within these damp office walls. Existing somewhere. A juxtaposition between working and wanting to play. The clock never stops but time stands still. I want to play.

An ode to traditional tailoring, where classic construction is intentionally undone. Conventional techniques are applied in unconventional ways, embracing imperfection and breaking from method.
