L'Histoire

GAO

01

Origin

Gao stood as capital for centuries, the political, cultural, and textile center of the Songhai empire. This piece is built the same way: layer over layer of the same fiber.

GAO, Origin
02

Material

Upcycled textiles chosen for the way they hold volume rather than lie flat.

GAO, Material
03

Symbol

Volumes superposés, layered volumes stacked deliberately, so the silhouette reads as capitale spirituelle: a spiritual capital.

GAO, Symbol
04

Craft

Each layer is constructed and finished individually before being brought together into the final silhouette.

05

Movement

Worn close or worn loose, the layering holds its own architecture either way.
