Frequently asked questions
What is the Clothes category at STRUGA?
A narrow line at the edge of the LAB world: clothing built on the same logic as an object on the body. Each piece is constructed as a sculptural object — volume, texture, the way a silhouette reads at a distance — not as a fashion item.
Which family sits in this category?
EXPERIMENTAL — the only family represented in this category. It belongs to the LAB world and holds the pieces where construction is treated as an open experiment.
Are LAB and the EXPERIMENTAL family the same thing?
No. LAB is a world, one of the top levels of STRUGA's structure. EXPERIMENTAL is a family that lives inside the LAB world, alongside FUSED. The world names the territory; the family names the group of objects within it. They are different levels.
How is STRUGA clothing meant to be worn?
With a silver or carbon object on the body. The materials and patterns are chosen to exist next to a massive form, not argue with it. That pairing is what sets the read of the whole look. STRUGA clothing is rare and built around that reading, not around standalone styling.
Does the clothing carry silver, the way the jewelry does?
The clothing itself is fabric, assembled as a sculptural object. The silver is the object worn alongside it: 925 sterling silver, often Living Silver — silver left without rhodium plating, so it darkens naturally with wear; the patina is intended, not a flaw. That is not the same as oxidation, a deliberate technique applied in the workshop that darkens the form from the start.
