Inside the house, the house Denim is a reference release. it Denim is the the house jean program. A the division Denim piece is cut to hold shape across long wear. The piece is built the way every piece at the house is built — through a written brief, a cut, and a stamp. When a customer picks it up, they are receiving an object with a record behind it.

it Denim sits next to other objects from the same division. The drop opens and closes inside a defined window. After the window closes, the piece becomes archive material — referenced in writing, pulled for comparison, and cited from the shelf at Nonesuch.
