However, over time, a shift began. Architecture, as much as our founder loved it, started to feel increasingly rigid. The constraints of deadlines, budgets, and client demands sometimes stifled their creativity. The world of architecture, despite its beauty, started to feel less personal and more transactional. Our founder wanted to create something with a deeper connection to their own identity, something that could express who they were, not just to clients, but to the world.
The idea of venturing into fashion was not immediate. It started with small things—collecting designs, sketching clothing ideas, and exploring fabrics. Our founder noticed that the clothing industry was becoming a dynamic blend of creativity and personal expression. Clothes were no longer just about function; they were about telling a story, showcasing individuality, and making a statement. It became clear that the same passion for design that was once poured into architecture could be applied to fashion. Both fields demanded creativity, an eye for detail, and a deep understanding of how design impacts people’s lives.
With time, our founder decided to take the leap. It wasn’t an easy decision. Architecture was a well-established career, and stepping away from it meant abandoning years of hard work and expertise. But it was a risk worth taking. The fear of regret, of not pursuing something that could allow them to truly express themselves, outweighed the comfort of sticking to the familiar.
They began by creating their first designs for a small line of t-shirts and hoodies. The concept was to blend architectural principles with fashion. The clean lines, the structure, and the thoughtfulness that architecture demanded were embedded into every piece. Our founder wanted to make clothing that reflected not just trends, but also timeless values—comfort, quality, and authenticity. It was important that every piece told a story, and that every fabric used was carefully chosen to feel as good as it looked.
Starting small, the road wasn’t easy. The fashion industry is competitive, and creating a brand that stood out was no simple task. The business side of things was completely new. Our founder had to learn everything from marketing to supply chain management, branding, and customer service. The first few months were tough. There were moments of doubt, times when they questioned whether they had made the right choice. But with every setback, they kept reminding themselves why they started—because they wanted to create something that had meaning, something that would resonate with people.
