The Obsolescence of Value
Fall/Winter 2026
Inspired by abandoned vehicles in Dubai, this collection explores the afterlife of luxurious cars once associated with success and eventually left behind. As dust settles over their surfaces, symbols of wealth become reminders of time, absence, and the obsolescence of value. The collection presents luxury not as permanent, but as something temporary, fragile, and subject to change.
Eyewear accessories
- The Residules
'The Residules' are a series of eyewear accessories developed for the 2026 collection, The Obsolescence of Value. Each frame is resin 3D-printed before being finished with an applied flocking technique that mimics the accumulation of dust across its surface. The same flocking process is carried throughout the garments in the collection, creating a shared material language between clothing and accessory.
