Transcend the Traditional with Georgia ic25 and H(OUR) Objects

September 07, 2021

On September 3, Maria Dora of GEORGIA ic25 and Steph Shiu of H(OUR) Objects presented their collaborative collection centered around practicality and spiritual functionality. Birthed out of an appreciation for creatives and the spiritually inclined, this collection aims to explore the balance between the spiritual and the physical and how the two coexist within the world.

Born out of a passion for making clothing that encompassed minimalism and familiarity, sustainable Los Angeles-based brand GEORGIA finds the majority of its inventory and supplies within a 10 miles radius from where the collection is made. Designing garments that can conform to the wearer's own particular style, Dora wanted her collection to transcend fashion and be adaptable to whoever is wearing the piece. Dora did not want her customers to feel as though they had to dress a specific way to have one of her pieces fit into their personal lexicon of style. Producing pieces that are versatile and unique while still remaining elevated in tone.

With the earth and accessories in mind, leather-alternative H(OUR) Objects' main goal is creating both bespoke and ready-to-wear pieces that put its customers and the planet at the forefront. Pulling inspiration from a love of the earth, science fiction, anime, all the way to space-age futurism, H(OUR) Objects strives to push the boundaries of curiosity and creativity. Sparking a fire in their customers and the way they look to accessorize.

There’s a push and pull between the themes of rationality of Georgia ic25’s workwear and the spirituality of H(OUR) Objects. We are exploring that push and pull, how they come together, and how they’re very different.

- Steph Shiu, designer and founder, H(OUR) Objects

Dora and Shiu came together for this collection to create limited edition pieces such as chore jackets, aprons, tanks & work pants. Each piece is decorated with a wide array of gemstones and crystals. For this collection, Dora and Shiu wanted to bring luxury and beauty into traditional workwear. They aimed to explore the contrast between the functionality of the workwear pieces and the elegance and delicate nature of the gemstones adorning the pieces. Creating a balance and harmony within the garments and the wearer, transcending the physical and spiritual. The pieces are available for purchase and commission upon request.

In a celebration of the collaboration, Dora and Shiu casted a series of Asian-American creatives including Neada Deters, Danny Bowien, and more.

GUCCI SS25: Where the Light Finds Us

January 17, 2025

There is a dreamlike limbo between movement and stillness, between light and shadow. This precise yet indefinable space is what GUCCI’s new Spring/Summer 2025 campaign Where the Light Finds Us explores. It tells the story of two souls meeting in a suspended moment, exchanging fragments of emotions and subtle gestures in an interplay of light and shadow, offering a glimpse into the essence of the collection. Challenging the boundaries between simplicity and complexity, the new collection features lightweight fabrics intertwined with structured silhouettes and unexpected touches of color that blur the line between the real and the imaginary. Where the Light Finds Us invites us to inhabit this liminal space: a poetic expression of connection and transformation.
