Heritage speaks in the present tense. In Primal Conversations, ornate jewellery meets sculptural knitwear, tailored silhouettes and the ease of a tracksuit. Layers of adornment bring inherited references into contact with contemporary dressing, allowing past and future to inhabit the same image. Tradition becomes a living language: something to carry forward, reinterpret and make one’s own.
