Concept
Two parts of the collar are fastened with a metal brooch in the shape of a letter I designed, which transforms a two-dimensional typeface into a three-dimensional art object. This detail modifies the classic collar silhouette, and the contrasting pairing of soft textile and cool metal visualizes the very essence of the typeface—the juxtaposition of thin and thick lines.
Why the collar?
The letter transforms into a metallic object. The object connects the altered collar shape. The collar becomes a new «shell» for the body.
Rear attachment with Flat Head snaps
The Flat Head snap—a reinforced clasp (fastener) with a flat head for badges, pins, and brooches.
Brand Highlights
The brooch becomes a visual code of character: the user does not select a letter directly; they receive it through an associative test based on their behavioral preferences.
