4. What differentiates the Essential Collection from the other lines?
The Essential Collection focuses on permanence and versatility. Compared to our seasonal lines, it is less about experimentation and more about refining our signature shapes through fabrics and details that can live in someone’s wardrobe for many years.

5. What is the most important factor you consider when selecting materials?
The feeling of the fabric is always the most important. I look for materials that have character, movement, durability, and comfort. I also pay a lot of attention to how the fabric evolves over time and how it interacts with the silhouette.

6. What is the intention behind offering the collection in one size only?
Offering one size only was a way to challenge the traditional approach to sizing. I wanted to create garments that feel inclusive and adaptable, where proportions and volume become part of the identity rather than something restrictive.

7. Where do you hide the complexity in your minimalist designs?
The complexity is often hidden in the pattern making and construction. Even if the garments appear simple visually, a lot of work goes into balancing proportions, movement, drape, and functionality so the pieces feel natural when worn.

8. The Essential Collection seems to be wearable all year round. What item would you most recommend for the upcoming season?
For the upcoming season, I would probably recommend the Tropical Wool Hakama Pants. They are lightweight, breathable, and versatile enough to work across different temperatures and occasions while still carrying the essence of Sillage.
