Heat and Thread is a capsule collection concept for Aimé Leon Dore, inspired by culinary craftsmanship. It taps into New York City's food scene as a natural extension of ALD's storytelling, giving the brand a new lifestyle category while staying true to its DNA of nostalgia, community, and craft.

For Heat and Thread, I partnered ALD with real NYC chefs, designed a collection of culinary inspired pieces, and built out pop-up menus with them at their own restaurants. It's fashion and food treated as the same kind of craft, brought to life through the people that do it best.
