The wardrobe
Six ways in.
Occasion, office, and the days between. The current edit — not the whole house.
For her
Flower frocks
Small prints, gathered skirts, the garden worn at noon.
Drawn in wax
Batik & sarong
Wax-resist cloth, worn as it is worn at home.
Soft days
Women’s cotton
T-shirts with enough weight to hang, and nothing extra.
Easy cloth
Men’s cotton
Tees cut for a Sri Lankan shoulder, worn without ceremony.
The hours that ask
Women’s office
Sets that hold their line from morning to the last meeting.
Island tailoring
Men’s office
Shirts and trousers for rooms with air-conditioning and streets without it.
