2024,               New York City  NY  USA

FW24 limited—edition capsule collection in collaboration with Andrea M Smith,  comprised of select silk and cotton button-downs, and signature painted denim.

The beck shirt by SILPHIUM      is a take on a classic man tailored button-down shirt.   The shirt features flat felled seams, a wide sweep and oversized fit. Each shirt is made expertly in midtown, New York. 

Our collaboration is re—imaged in    A.M.S. Signature color,  terra-cotta,  once the singular earth pigment used to paint early prototypes - now featured in a solid raw-silk dupioni.  The collection's cotton-poplin counterpiece, a nearly sheer black, came to be upon the realization that Andrea's everyday button down - a treasured piece from Totokaelo's final season, was in fact produced during Onea’s time on their in-house design team.  Despite its luxurious quality,  Andrea's shirt is worn in, both in and out of the studio, paint stains and all.  —

Each shirt is adorned with a hand-painted and stamped tag by A.M.S.

The core denim is a SILPHIUM  staple,   the exposed button fly, scoop pockets and wide leg are reminiscent of vintage workwear, with a contemporary twist. Made in midtown New York using 100% Japanese and USA milled denim.   Our limited—edition capsule is hand-painted in acrylic by A.M.S.  -  using signature motifs from early collections -  intended to wear in, crack, and soften as  raw denim does."
