Pēdas is an exercise in scale and silhouette. The body is intentionally oversized and cropped, mimicking the generous drape of a wrap, while the dramatic side slits allow the fabric to move with freedom. Running vertically through this expansive ”blanket” are the textured traces - the footprints of the design. To balance the volume of the torso, the 3/4-length sleeves are slim and fitted, which creates a modern, architectural silhouette that is both cozy and sharp.
