CLOTHING SHAPED BY THE GEOMETRY OF ITS GRAPHICS
AN IDEA DICTATES HOW A GRAPHIC IS WORKED
THAT GRAPHIC LEADS TO THE CUT OF THE CLOTHING
WHICH IN TURN MAKES DEMANDS ON THE GRAPHIC ITSELF...
TOGETHER THEY ARE FELT, TOGETHER THEY ARE WORN.
EXTENSIVE DIALOGUE BETWEEN THE CUT AND THE PRINT ESTABLISHES THE SHARED SENSE OF SHAPE AND FORM WHICH DEFINES OUR CLOTHING. LIKE TWO CIRCLES OVERLAPPING, THE INTERSECTION IS A RESULT OF BOTH BUT ALSO THE CREATION OF A SEPARATE THIRD.
DESIGNING FOR BOTH MEN & WOMEN, OUR T-SHIRTS ARE CRAFTED FROM THE FINEST MATERIALS AND MANUFACTURED TO THE HIGHEST LUXURY STANDARDS.
IN MOVING FROM ENGLAND TO FRANCE, EMPIRE'S UNION STARTED TO TAKE SHAPE IN LATE 2006.
WHILE GETTING A FEEL FOR A NEW CITY - PARIS
FREQUENT TRIPS BACK TO THE HOME CITY - LONDON
- SIDE BY SIDE THE TWO ARE OBSERVED
COMBINING THEIR PECULIAR & SEDUCTIVE DIFFERENCES LEADS TO A SEPARATE PLACE ALTOGETHER - A SEPARATE EXISTANCE DRAWN FROM BOTH.
# BRITAIN - PART OF EUROPE BUT SOMEHOW NOT CONSIDERED EUROPEAN #
WITH NO INDICATION OF INDIVIDUAL INVOLVEMENT, THE RING OF STARS - THE EUROPEAN FLAG - HAS COME TO REPRESENT TAKING PART BUT NOT BELONGING. A SENSE OF BELONGING MUST THEREFORE BE FOUND IN THE INDIVIDUAL STAR ONCE SEPARATED FROM THE RING. THE STAR PROVIDES THE PERFECT CHANNEL THROUGH WHICH TO EXPLORE FURTHER IDEAS SUCH AS THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN IMAGE AND TEXT.
EACH STAR IS A OBSERVATION BASED IN A LOGIC ALL OF ITS OWN. EMPIRE'S UNION ALWAYS REMAINS RESOLUTELY SUBJECTIVE: YOU EXPRESS YOURSELF THROUGH EMPIRE'S UNION / EMPIRE'S UNION DOES NOT PROJECT ITSELF ON YOU.
THE SIDE SEAMS OF ALL 3 CUTS TAKE THE SHAPE OF A STAR - A HIGHLY DISTINCTIVE YET DISCREET DETAIL WHICH IS CLEARLY VISIBLE FROM THE SIDES AND BACK OF ALL OUR GARMENTS. ALL T-SHIRTS ARE MADE IN SUPER-FINE, SUPER-SOFT COTTON AND ARE AVAILABLE IN EITHER BLACK OR WHITE. EACH MODEL MAKES USE OF BOTH CRUDE AND FINE FINISHING, CONTRASTING THE MATERIAL'S REMARKABLE NATURAL QUALITIES WITH OUR TECHNICAL KNOW-HOW. ENTIRELY MADE IN EUROPE.
