IF_it's dyed, does it kill you?
Colour is desire made visible. We wanted to understand what we invite against the skin when we choose it.
Why we ask
Nothing sells a garment faster than its colour — and nothing is less examined once we own it.
We are curious, not alarmed. There is a long, beautiful history of dye, and a more recent chemistry worth understanding calmly.
What we're looking into
- 01What separates a plant-based dye from a synthetic one, in plain terms
- 02What sits on skin all day, and what that contact actually involves
- 03Where colour goes after the dyehouse — into water, into place
- 04Whether beauty and comfort can be the same decision
The angles
Material
The substances that make colour hold, and how they behave in contact with warmth, sweat and time.
Cultural
Why certain colours signalled status, mourning, rebellion or ease — and how we still read them without noticing.
Ethical
What a colour costs the river it leaves through, and the people nearest to where it is made.
Possible answers
We don't know yet where this lands. That's the point. Some answers stay words; some become objects.
