Avant-garde and easy to wear don't always reside harmoniously, but in this case, they do. These pull on trousers have side pockets and a loose (but not baggy) fit. Almost 3D in appearance thanks to the hand-made pleats along the bottom that are ornamental, origami-inspired, beautifully weird, and inspired. Elastic waist for easy fit. An updated way to wear all-black.

NB: The pleats on this garment were made by hand. The fraying of the pleats is intentional and an integral part of the design. There are options to limit the fraying, such as commercial products Fray Check or Liquid Stitch.

An incredibly cool skirt. Avant-garde and easy to wear don't always reside harmoniously, but in this case, they do. It's a sculpture, really. Almost 3D (or is it flat?) in appearance thanks to its slightly bubbled bottom half, with hand-made pleats along the bottom that are ornamental, origami-inspired, beautifully weird, and inspired. Elastic waist for easy fit.

Definitely one of the favorite dresses by Nancy Stella Soto to have graced these floors. Khaki and black make for a classic combination, as does this looong A-line silhouette. Hidden side seam pockets, and wooden button closure all down the back on a neat placket. Hand-made pleats adorn the sleeves, ornamental, origami-inspired, beautifully weird, and inspired.

A cropped denim top, pieced, that can be worn alone as a tank or layered. Fully lined in canvas. 

The conceptualist is at it again, this time combining sport and structure. We'd suggest pairing it with a formal-style collar underneath, white or color are equally good, and this cropped silhouette has enough body to it to stand up to it. Handpainted.

Conceptual trousers by a designer that really thinks through simple ideas made bigger, better, and braver. In a soft linen and loose leg fit, with rectangular cut out at the ankles, these may be worn with the cut out in front, or as alternative leg openings. Handpainted.
