“Resene Now Or Never has that glistening blue sheen, the feeling of dappled light filtering down into the ocean, as you look up at it, you see the waka cross over you, followed by the imperial sailing ships; a country borne of the sea.

Imagine the possibilities… What about every possibility imaginable, a figure of the imagination?

At this, I remembered a quote I once saw;

“Mitten Swischen Hirn un Händen Muss das Herz Sien!”

Which means; “The mediator between the head and the hands must be the heart!” Concerning fashion, the head plays the role of scientist, the heart the artist and the hands expose the harmony or disharmony between them, i.e. the toiling. So, the inspiration for my look was to show what the imagination looks like. I delved into the mind – the razor, the scrupulous militant perfectionist – and found Naval uniforms, tailoring that requires strict conventions ruled by quantities and an iron rod. I looked to my heart – the spirit, the meta of all conventional, quantifiable reason – and found a flower, a spinning vortex and a childhood friend.

Resene Now Or Never represents more than anything the ocean, facilitating an idea that the mind is what brings the heart out of the depths into the shallows so that the hands may sew the science and the art together. This process is ever lasting and continually grows when you do it today, and if you were to do it forever.

Today is forever Resene Now Or Never.”
