Live saddle stitching during “The Dying Art” - NYFW, September 2026
Two needles. One awl. One stitch at a time.
No machine can replace the movement of the hands, the time, or the knowledge behind the craft.

But the main question behind The Dying Art remains:

What is actually dying - the art, the craft, or the people willing to give it their time?

And perhaps the more important question is: who is keeping it alive?
