• On my tiptoes
  eager to learn
  respectful of the craft

  have to see for myself
  want to explore
  find my way to tradition

  discover my own classics

  the body sets the framework
  striving for grace and refinement
  concepts stripped to pure essentials
  reduced to perfection

  weighing tradition against technology
  balancing the bodyweight
  between bespoke and mass production
  in the hands of the tailor

  thinking in modules
  forging uniform principles
  adjusting and allowing
  customising

  Leaving footprints
