Can a garment preserve what emotion leaves behind?

Maison; TJRS began as a design-management brief and became a house. I wanted to know whether a garment could hold what an emotion leaves behind, so the first collection, A/W 25, takes four, anger, obsession, solitude and grief, and treats each one through its construction: a leather jacket repaired with wire, a denim jacket held in by its own proportions, trousers carrying another artist's private world, a garment that keeps its residue. Around those objects I designed the house that would make them make sense: an identity that labels clothes like archival holdings, a code that records where every piece sits, a certificate and box that travel with it, and three tiers that let one idea reach a collector, a buyer and a newcomer at different prices. The garments are shown through concept renders of proposed pieces; none has been fabricated yet.

A house that labels its clothes the way an archive labels its holdings.

The house cuts a band through every image, the way memory cuts through a scene.

LABEL ; WOUND ; TJRS-25-C1-01

Luxury has lost its soul to commerce. Art has lost its body to galleries. We bring both home ; inside a maison that treats garments as emotional fossils.

Emotion is a beautiful thing in itself; however, when pushed, it turns into a macabre shell of its own.
