Best Practices

• •Embrace Philosophical Language: Consistently incorporate terms and concepts that reflect the studio's depth (e.g., "slowness," "Neitherness," "impermanence," "interconnectedness") but ensure they remain accessible and evocative rather than overly academic.
• •Prioritize Poetic and Evocative Descriptions: Use sensory details and metaphorical language to describe materials, processes, and the feel of the garments/artworks. Focus on the "why" and the "how" as much as the "what."
• •Highlight Craftsmanship and Naturalness: Always bring attention to the use of natural fibers, traditional techniques (like Sashiko), and the handmade aspect of the creations. Emphasize the beauty in subtlety and imperfection.
• •Reinforce Core Values: Explicitly and implicitly weave in the studio's values of sustainability, longevity, anti-consumerism, and artistic integrity into all communications, from product descriptions to social media posts.
• •Maintain a Reflective and Questioning Stance: Encourage contemplation and dialogue. Pose questions to the audience, share insights from the studio's philosophical explorations, and position the brand as a journey of discovery rather than a purveyor of static products.
