This Flight Log is part of an ongoing record documenting the evolution of Exposed Layers across fashion, technology, culture, and identity.
Status: Deployed
Phase: Launch Layer Active
At launch, Exposed Layers exist first as a physical garment. The T-shirt is the anchor, designed to be worn, lived in, and understood before anything else unfolds. What sits beneath the surface is revealed only through interaction.
Embedded within each piece are quiet digital layers. A near-field scan opens access to a digital product passport, recording provenance, care instructions, and edition details. Over time, this space becomes an archive, holding updates, messages, and evolving content tied to the life of the garment itself. Nothing is static. Each interaction adds context.
Augmented reality extends the physical form. When activated, the printed marker becomes a portal, transforming the shirt into a walking canvas. The experience is intentionally lightweight. It does not replace the garment, but reframes it, allowing identity to shift between physical presence and digital expression without friction.
The online environment mirrors this philosophy. AI-powered sizing and virtual try-on are integrated to reduce guesswork, returns, and waste, supporting a slower and more considered way of shopping. A 3D store acts as a digital twin, not as spectacle, but as a space to explore the project, its materials, and its evolution across locations.
What comes next is not a single feature, but a continuation. Future layers will extend the garment beyond the physical world, allowing it to move into interoperable digital spaces, gaming environments, and new forms of self-expression. These layers will arrive gradually, shaped by experimentation, collaboration, and cultural relevance.
Exposed Layers do not arrive all at once. It unfolds.
