Antecedence

The SS21 collection Antecedence has a low environmental impact measured by Sustainability and Responsible Business Reports. We aim to be exclusiveless: genderless, ageless, sizeless and ruleless. During a time travel is difficult, this collection takes the viewers on a journey through cultures Ji connects with best: Korea, USA, and Italy.

The collection takes the defining elements of cultural heritage and remakes them into something that could be worn today. A traditional quilting method called “jogakbo” which is a textile made out of hundreds of individually sewn scraps of fabric squares is modernized. Hand painted details of Korean architecture is brought to Italy, where artisans hand painted the details.
