I — Statement

A wardrobe held together by memory, stitched in the language of those still fighting.

MATERIAL WITNESS is a two-piece editorial drop by COMMON HOLD × UNSPUN. A heavyweight cotton jersey honoring the long war against HIV, and four silk scarves in the dune-and-crimson palette of the pavilion.

Every piece is numbered, photographed in situ, and accompanied by a certificate of provenance. 500 units total — once they are gone, the EXHIBIT closes.

Proceeds support AIDS Walk South Dallas, Texas Pride Community Foundation, Florida-based ADAP rapid-response, and World AIDS Day coalitions.
