Nest is a multi-paneled shirt and pant set, drawing inspiration from nests—structures built from raw, natural materials found in the environment. Like branches and grasses woven to form shelter, the garment uses flat-patterned panels, fluted edges, and straight lines to reflect the tension between structure and fragility.
Crafted from found fabrics and scraps, the set mirrors the act of gathering discarded materials to build something protective and intentional. Neutral tones evoke the muted colors of nesting materials.
Geometric additions to the sleeves create a voluminous, nest-like bubble around the arms. Curved bodice panels contour the body, while straight panels at the collar visually bend to form a circular shape around the neck—echoing the way rigid elements curve into organic forms in nest construction.
