Among the many words left behind by Leonardo da Vinci, whose sketchbooks resemble labyrinths of mystery and invention, one phrase in particular became a guiding thread for this season’s creation. Imagining the world through his eyes—seeing it as he might have—reminds us that even the most familiar landscapes are filled with hidden discoveries waiting to be noticed.

In a recent story from Texas, a new species of plant was found in a national park—not by a scientist, but by a park ranger and a local volunteer. This news carried a quiet revelation: that even within the repetition of our daily routines, shifting one’s perspective by just a few degrees can suddenly reveal what was always right in front of us, unseen.

With that spirit in mind, we created a series of pieces featuring graphic motifs inspired by Leonardo da Vinci’s sketches. The V.CHAD shirt resembles a stand-collar piece at first glance but can be worn like a jacket when the collar is folded down, complete with side slits that echo tailored construction. The long shirt V.IOMMI features a detachable collar, offering two distinct ways to wear it. Completing the trio, the LEO scarf is made of fine silk viyella. The same artwork also appears as the lining inside the season’s SLASH jackets and SCHENKER trousers, connecting the garments through a shared inner narrative.

Getting dressed, too, can be an act of exploration—a quiet form of cultural research. Why does today’s clothing take the shape it does? What histories and ideas are woven into it? By asking such questions, we begin to hear the silent stories spoken by the things we wear.

This season’s collection is designed to ignite that sense of curiosity and discovery. Within familiar silhouettes lie alternative functions and hidden roles—details that reveal themselves only through touch and wear. Each encounter invites awareness and wonder, much like the enigmatic machines sketched in Leonardo’s notebooks—objects whose meanings unfold gradually, as if awakening to life the moment one engages with them.
