Discipline Before Design

Discipline comes before design.

I don’t begin with ideas of expression or statement. I begin by removing what does not endure. Noise, excess, decoration — these things age quickly. What remains after subtraction is what deserves form.

Design is not what is added. It is what survives restraint.

Weight, cut, and structure are not aesthetic decisions. They are commitments to longevity. If a piece cannot hold its shape through repetition and movement, it has no place here.

That philosophy is not symbolic. It resolves into form through materials chosen for endurance and silhouettes shaped to disappear into daily use rather than demand attention.

This discipline becomes tangible through discipline made wearable.

The Uraeus e Abutre Joggers are constructed from heavyweight cotton fleece with a tapered silhouette and embroidered protective motifs — not for display, but for permanence. Nothing added for attention. Nothing left without purpose.

Stillness, by choice, is not withdrawal.

It is alignment.

These reflections inform the construction of core essentials and the limited release that follow, including MG26.
