The Fashion Artifact Project
The Fashion Artifact Project
POST-AUTHENTICITY ERA
Documented Alteration
The Process
Each ETHX piece begins as an imitation:
mass-made, mass-dismissed.
Then it is interrupted.
Cut, burned, reversed, revealed.
What remains is singular.
Numbered in light.
Archived in image.
Proven by transformation.
The Unwritten Thread
The Manifesto
We do not make clothes.
We intervene in the assumption of value.
We begin with the discarded,
The copy, the echo.
We do not elevate the counterfeit.
We expose the original.
Each piece is altered.
By hand, by fire, by silence.
There is no signature, only number.
There is no brand, only trace.
FAKE and REAL arise together.
How ETHX Works
We start with a fake
But not just any fake - these are counterfeit pieces that mimic high-end luxury fashion. The kind that comes out of the same factories, uses similar materials, and imitates the world’s most powerful fashion houses.
We select each garment by hand. Then we alter it - visually, conceptually, and physically. Some are painted. Some are stencilled. Some are layered or deconstructed. Some are burned. Every piece is reworked in a way that changes its meaning, not just its appearance.
