DRESS

DRESSNot black, not grey dark grey ribbed cotton that shifts between the two depending on the light source. Dark grey sits between the extremes. In AITO's fine gauge ribbed knit, the valleys between ribs read as shadow rather than color the dress appears to change depth as light shifts. Direct light flattens it toward charcoal, indirect light lets the channels deepen toward graphite. The construction stays the same across all three colorways: body

The exterior surface is raw and hand-forged in character

tight fiber

The weight of it reminds you it is there - and that is the point

a diagonal seam runs asymmetrically from shoulder to hem

dried into the leather you carry

Garment-washed cotton with a matte

Model wearing size: 1

while a central back seam traces the spine for structural definition

with matching gear-like detail at the temple ends - the H42 in Gunmetal carries its construction as visible architecture

Closure: Lace-up with flat cotton laces

not plated -- cast by hand in an Empoli workshop where leather and metal have shared the same bench for decades

Upper: Matte leather
