18 Bonus Ballet shoot

Becoming Part of Everyday Life

I used the prototype again for another ballet session, but by now it does not really feel like a prototype anymore when I wear it. I have several of these suits and use them regularly as underwear, which is probably the best kind of long-term test we could ask for. If something still annoys you after hours of normal wear, you notice it very quickly.

From Ballet Studio to Bed

What makes the concept interesting to me is how many different situations the same piece can handle. I can dance in it, train in it, wear clothes over it during the day, and I even sleep in it now. That says much more about comfort and construction than a short fitting ever could. Ballet just happens to be the part that exposes every weakness immediately.

PROTACT ONE, Eventually

One day these suits are supposed to be available under PROTACT ONE, but I would rather keep improving them than rush them out because they already look finished. Wearing them every day gives us information no design sketch can provide. The funny part is that somewhere between testing and developing, they quietly became part of my normal wardrobe.
