ARTICLES OF CLOTHING IS A PROJECT THAT OPERATES ACROSS WOMENSWEAR, UNISEX WEAR, ACCESSORIES, HOMEWARES, WORKWEAR AND COLLABORATIONS.

IN THE EARLY DAYS, IT EVOLVED OUT OF AN ART PROJECT BY ANNIE WU FROM THE TASK OF RECOLLECTING, DOCUMENTING AND CATALOGUING ALL THE CLOTHING COMMISSIONS AND PROJECTS MADE BETWEEN THE YEARS OF 2003 — 2013. THE RESULTS OF THIS CATALOGUING PROCESS WAS EXHIBITED AND BECAME A PLATFORM FOR THE POTENTIAL DEVELOPMENT OF A GARMENT ARCHIVE. KEEPING THE NAME ARTICLES OF CLOTHING AS THE PROJECT TITLE, MORE CLOTHING PIECES AND HOUSEHOLD ITEMS MANIFESTED, EACH OF WHICH WERE DESIGNED, NUMBERED AND ADDED TO THE ARCHIVE.

OVER THE YEARS, THE ARCHIVE HAS GROWN TO OVER 190 PIECES OF CLOTHING AND ACCESSORIES. EACH PIECE IS NUMBERED IN THE SEQUENTIAL ORDER THEY ARE DESIGNED AND THAT NUMBER BECOMES THE PRIMARY IDENTIFIER OF THE PIECE. THE ARCHIVE IS ACTIVATED DURING COLLECTION PREPARATION PERIODS WHEN CERTAIN PIECES FROM THE ARCHIVE AS WELL AS NEW PIECES ARE SELECTED AND MADE AVAILABLE AGAIN IN DIFFERENT COLOURS, FABRIC SELECTIONS, OR MINOR ADJUSTMENTS EACH LIMITED-EDITION PRODUCTION CYCLE.

USING THIS DESIGN PROCESS, WE CAN LEARN TO GIVE NEW LIFE TO EXISTING DESIGNS AND IDEAS IN A CYCLICAL MANNER AND PLACE MORE EMPHASIS ON CONTINUAL APPRECIATION OF CLOTHING OWNERSHIP, TIMELESS FUNCTIONALITY, AND BEING RESOURCEFUL IN THOUGHTFUL AND IMAGINATIVE WAYS.
