OP:1 is a personal exploration of memory, identity, and reconstruction. Drawing on themes of nostalgia and familial legacy—particularly motorcycle culture passed down through generations—it reimagines garments from the past through a contemporary lens.
Upcycled military canvas, traditional lace, wool, satin, modern Lycra and mesh, and custom-printed artwork by designer Jewel Kaye form the foundation of this collection. Tailored silhouettes and modular elements—cropped jackets, signature water sleeves, and modular isolated sleeves—emerge through puzzle-like constructions. Each piece serves as a quiet archive of lived experience, revisiting garments once worn, damaged, or inherited, and transforming them into new, layered narratives.
