About R/K2

R/K2©

A cultural archive of overlooked observations.

The most interesting things in the world are usually overlooked. We document them.

Every garment, image, and object should feel like evidence from a larger archive.Design is a consequence, not the goal.

Not a clothing brand. An archive. Clothing is one medium. Film, photography, objects and experiences are others.

Every collection, campaign, and observation passes through a single perspective.

People who notice things. People who collect references. People who look twice. Observers, not followers.

From the archive,

When I am not in the studio, you can find me:

Coffee cups on a small table in an alley, a red stool beside it

01

Side streets and back alleys. The best references are never on a moodboard.

Old prints of a river landscape on a concrete floor

02

Flea markets and old prints, looking for what someone else kept.

A paper lantern lit against a wall with a monstera at night

03

Mostly at night. I have always been more of a night person.
