Tracing the quiet power of garments and connections across generations. Mother and daughter, Marisca and Bess, belong to a creative family that has always lived slightly beyond convention. Separate and together, their gestures, values, and ways of seeing echo one another. An inheritance of form, confidence, and ease.
“My mother likes to bend imposed rules to her own liking. As a child, I found this embarrassing, now I catch myself thinking the same way, and I appreciate how she dares to take up space.”
- Bess
“Clothes hold memories, the moment you first wore them, the people you shared them with, how they’ve worn over time. Now I see my children wearing my husband André’s clothes, and it makes me happy. He always said, “clothes live longer than people”, and it’s true.”
- Marisca
“Our family motto is ‘keep going.’ After everything we’ve been through together, I try to teach my children that you have to make your own fun in life, and keep laughing, even when things go wrong. I also think it’s important to stay aware of others, to help one another, and to look at the world with an open and curious mind. That’s what we pass on.”
