Nieuw Dada, a fashion story

Basa Basa, Wear, irregularity, and change are part of a garment’s life. Leather is meant to soften, crease, and darken with use; denim is meant to break in, fade, and record movement. Perfection is not fixed at the moment of making, but allowed to emerge over time through friction, repetition, and living. Clothes are completed by the body, by time, and by use, embracing impermanence and carrying the marks of those who live in them.
