DRESSES AND GOWNS

THE FABRIC OF MEMORY: DRESSES & GOWNS A gown is a landscape of the lives it has touched—a witness to celebrations, transitions, and the art of the dance. Within our Archive, we curate silhouettes that carry the soul of the past into the radical grit of the present.

• Honoring the Earth: Choosing an archival gown is a vow to protect our planet’s resources by honoring what already exists and preventing the waste of "new" production.

• Sentimental Architecture: We select dresses for their emotional weight and structural integrity, ensuring your story is wrapped in a secret history that can never be replicated.

• Radical Circulation: Every garment saved from the waste stream is a victory for the environment and a tribute to the former wearer who first felt in love with it. Now its your turn to carry on and write its next chapter.

• Fueling the Agency: Your choice to wear the Archive is a radical act of care that provides the tools, space, and artistic freedom for the next generation of makers at our downtown studio in Columbus OH
