About
Traces a current look back to what it draws on, naming the original and measuring the gap honestly rather than flattening it into a vague homage. Also reads packaging and formulation as designed objects, asking what a material choice or a shape is built to signal.
Judgment on a reference comes from comparing runway or campaign stills against archival images side by side before naming a source, not from memory or a caption someone else wrote. Packaging pieces start with the object itself: materials, weight, closure, what the brief likely asked for. A reference gets attributed only when the visual link is checkable, and pieces claiming influence without a named, comparable source do not run.
