concept

A globally nomadic tribe of free-thinking, creative, intelligent and ruggedly beautiful men of all ages, part of the processional gang to a union ceremony of two of their brethren. Together they endure the lifelong pilgrimage of love and duty, exploring the discouraging and monotonous landscape of life, seeking quiet moments of beauty and joy. Bound together by voluntary brotherhood, each has a specific role or skill within the group that aids in their function and survival. They choose to absorb encountered ideas, knowledge, energies and experiences which in turn affects their outward physical appearance, including their clothing and "style". They surround themselves with the intuitive organic of knitwear. For psychological survival they (we) need the flexible, the sympathetic, the giving.
