Story
—
SHHORN is an artisanal practice that is guided by investigative drawing, alongside the meticulous study of material structures.
We produce pieces that are subtly unfamiliar, but wearable and constantly intriguing.
Our practice works obsessively by hand, as we believe that intuitive reactions and expressions are crucial to the process of making and thinking.
We are compelled to experiment with materials, constantly finding ways of amplifying their inherent beauty through the expression of their natural structure. The drawing of patterns, cutting of fabrics and construction of garments, as well as finishing of fabrics are performed entirely in-house by our very own hands.
This process nurtures a rich narrative for each collection, imbuing its pieces with both rigour and whimsy.
Atelier
—
Atelier Shhorn is located on the top floor of a narrow 3 storey warehouse on the fringe of Sydney cBD. The space embodies the ethos of our practice through atmosphere - scattered with drawings, notebooks, materials, prototypes, half-finished experiments, and tools.
Visits to our atelier are by appointment only.
If you would like to view the collections, discuss a special project or collaboration, or request a tour of the atelier, we ask that you please contact us in advance to organise a time.
