Step into a world where science and style converge, where the beauty of fluid dynamics intertwine with the art of fashion. Presenting our latest collection, “Ephemeral Echoes,” inspired by a captivating study from the past that continues to resonate with wonder and intrigue.

Imagine a moment frozen in time – a single drop suspended in mid-air, its surface tension holding the secret of its journey. Drawing from the pages of a discourse delivered at the Royal Institution of Great Britain in 1894, for our latest collection we have delved into the mesmerising phenomenon of drops in motion. Just as these drops of mercury, tea, alcohol, and water appear to rest untouched, they have, in fact, partaken in a symphony of motion, a dance across surfaces that leaves behind traces unseen.

Worthington’s research details the movement of drops of liquid, in beautiful fluid prose and supplemented by exquisite drawings and engravings. Perhaps the most notable section of the paper comes in its final moments, where Worthington describes the viewer’s desire for perfection, when nature rarely is entirely perfect or regular, wherein lies it’s beauty.

Our collection is a celebration of this hidden choreography – the “footprints of the dance” etched upon opaque glass, and the perfect imperfections of these drops of liquid. Each garment and accessory captures the essence of dynamic movement frozen in time, transforming the intangible into the tangible. Just as the drop’s surface tells a tale of fluidity and grace, our designs embody the elegance of motion, the vibrancy of life’s constant flow.

From iridescent fabrics that mimic the ever-shifting hues of liquid encounters to bold silhouettes that emulate the strength and delicacy of surface tension, “Ephemeral Echoes” is a testament to the symbiosis between science and art. Each piece carries the legacy of those fallen drops, a reminder that even in apparent stillness, there exists a narrative of kinetic energy and metamorphosis.

Join us on a journey through the dance of materials, as we unveil a collection that encapsulates the essence of hidden movement. “Ephemeral Echoes” is an homage to the beauty of discovery, the magic of science, and the elegance of fashion. As you immerse yourself in these garments, remember that every stitch, every texture, and every detail tells a story of drops that defied convention and embraced the symphony of their surroundings. Welcome to a collection that lets you wear the poetry of motion – welcome to “Ephemeral Echoes.”
