Does textile matters?

Textiles mediate our contact with the world—a second skin that filters our experience of matter and conditions external to ourselves. On our bodies, textiles do not hide our stripped, naked selves, but modify the way material appendages become extensions of self. They are liminal: material that verges between inner and outer, boundary and permeation. Fabrics are not defined by their inert materiality and protective or decorative qualities, but through their ability to carry memory and sentiment. Amidst an increasing tendency to see fashion as frivolous and purely decorative, Halo Labels seeks to engage with a much broader and intimate view of clothing as a fundamental human experience and expression.

People form an unconscious bond with their clothes – the material objects they wear. Clothing is multi-sensory, picked for its visual appeal and quality of touch. As we wear clothes, we form an unconscious bond with the material most immediately touching our unaltered selves, material that can also trigger emotions and evoke feelings.

Since its inception Halo Labels treats the softness of textiles as a radical matter through the sensory experience of both the gaze and touch. Our designs refer to the organic shapes of nature, focusing on texture to evoke memories and emotions. Alongside seasonal pieces we carry a permanent clothing line that includes our signature GAUZE SHIRTS and KNITS for the fall/winter seasons, that highlight innovative 3D knit designs crafted exclusively for the brand.
