What Lies Beneath
Connected garment
Limited edition phygital T-shirt with NFC, owner passport, and WebAR. Layer One of the Exposed Layers system. The piece you wear is only the first layer.
Exposed Layers explores strength, vulnerability and the identities we reveal - or keep hidden - beneath the surface. Its ribcage-like design speaks to both protection and exposure, strength and fragility. Inspired by cyanotype, layering and exposure, the garment exists across physical and digital worlds.

Digital Product Passport
Retired2025
Our first experiment in giving a physical garment a digital record beyond checkout — powered by GENU.N. It explored blockchain-based records, authentication, edition information, materials, care, and changing digital content.
Exposed Layers Owner Gateway
CurrentAugust 2026
We simplified the route. The NFC now connects directly to an Exposed Layers-owned gateway. Instead of relying on a separate DPP platform, this gives us greater flexibility to evolve the experiences around the garment directly.

The connection will continue to evolve. We're exploring new ways for owners to stay connected to their piece and to future Exposed Layers experiences.
