"We invited Ms. Lauren Wasser to serve as our muse representing a new era of fashion and designed a couture piece based on the inspiration gained from dialogues held with her online.
The look was created by leveraging various cutting-edge technologies. By applying our proprietary digital processing technology (Biosmocking) to a unique synthetic protein material (Brewed Protein™), we created highly complex three-dimensional shapes that embody physical details of their wearer and which far exceed anything which could be produced by hand. Importantly, given the current global environment, this project also served as a demonstration of our ability to create individualized pieces despite the challenges posed by the physical distance between the designer and the customer.

The film was created through a collaboration between leading production teams from Japan, America, and Belgium. It explores the garment creation process utilized in this project, from the visualization of the inspiration gained through dialogue with Ms. Wasser, through to the conceptualization of the final three dimensional garment.
This collection has resulted in two distinct creations: the art piece, which we hope will serve as an inspiration to many, and the product itself, which we hope will support its wearers while evolving alongside them.

This story began when I encountered somebody who to me represents the coming era of transformation and regeneration.
With her love of nature, her embodiment of a new tomorrow, and her ability to overcome life’s difficulties while supporting those suffering alongside her, this individual’s bravery calls to mind the type of heroic figures often encountered in myth and legend. 
I strongly believe the approach taken in this project—exploring the depth of a person’s character and working to visualize and express their identity represents the very heart of couture’s philosophy and will prove to be an indispensable element of our relationship with fashion moving forward. I've metaphoried this work as ATLAS, a map of memories."
