The majority of the collection is made of natural fibres such as silk, cotton, wool and leather. These materials are sourced from the stocks and remains of high end producers and this is why availability of each item will be limited.

The handweaving technique used to build garments is reprised from the designer's origins community of Azerbaijanis in Georgia, using cotton shoelaces instead of wool threads of carpet-making tradition. As the skill is at risk of being lost, the designer aims to support the generational handover by involving local communities of women in crafting the collections, ensuring the employement. 

To make INSTITUTION a new chapter also for them.
