It softens edges and sharpens technique. Whether it's 10,000 hours invested in something or wearing a piece of equipment into comfort, the concept of breaking something in is a metaphor for the pursuit of passion.

This body of work explores the metaphor with fabrics, patterns, textures, and templates that reference Alpinestars decades-long commitment to motorsports.

The beautiful patinas of lovingly abused equipment are replicated using sophisticated and classic, wearing, washing, and distressing techniques. The result is a collection that reflects the tactile beauty of relied on equipment.

Creased leather, distressed prints, and raw edges recreate the aesthetics of repetition and resilience in a contemporary, future-forward context. A supple glove, a battered leather jacket, or an overly-exploited t-shirt, but elevated and celebrated. Symbols of challenges overcome.
