Relics

Relics

Relics is the couture line of Ritus Per Diem. These are garments built as objects of devotion — few, worked by hand, made to hold mythology in wool, leather, metal, and gold.

Each collection is a Rite: a ceremony in which a world of choosing is given form.

Within a Rite, every silhouette is a Book. A Book is a character cut as allegory. The garment carries the figure; the figure is asked again through construction, proportion, and the weight of what is worn.
