Based in Paris, Casey Casey is an ode to the essence of material. Gareth Casey approaches his fabrics like a sculptor: they are meticulously washed, twisted, dyed, and patinated by hand, achieving a unique, living texture that feels as if it has always existed.
"Paper Cotton" dresses and washed velvet coats define generous, protective silhouettes. This is an elegance that defies rigidity. Here, the art of the wrinkle becomes a mark of distinction, and the garment moves with the body, creating a characteristic rustle.
About this selection
{"type":"root","children":[{"type":"paragraph","children":[{"type":"text","value":"Established in Paris since its inception, Casey Casey stands as one of those rare houses that defy pre-existing categories, its very existence a form of creative resistance within a fashion industry prone to cataloging and replication. Gareth Casey approaches his materials with an obsession and patience more akin to sculpture or ceramics than traditional textile manufacturing. Each fabric is washed, twisted, dyed, and patinated by hand through lengthy, unpredictable processes, ensuring that the final outcome can never be entirely controlled or identically reproduced, rendering every Casey Casey piece a truly unique object in the most literal sense.\n\nThe house's signature \"Paper Cotton\" perfectly encapsulates this philosophy. This fabric, characterized by its lightness and distinct crispness, is treated to achieve a living texture that seems to have gracefully aged through decades before being worn. It forms the foundation upon which Gareth Casey crafts his flowing dresses and protective silhouettes. Washed velvet coats extend this exploration of aged and patinated materials, creating generous volumes that envelop the body without ever restricting it. Here, the art of the wrinkle, far from being a flaw to be corrected, is cultivated as a mark of nobility \u2013 a visible testament to artisanal craftsmanship that no machine could ever replicate. A Casey Casey garment moves with the body, creating a characteristic rustle that has become an immediate mark of recognition for those familiar with the house.\n\nAt Actuel B, we offer a curated selection of Casey Casey women's pieces, available in our boutiques in Avignon and Arles, as well as on our website. Dresses, coats, and Paper Cotton garments are presented by teams trained in the brand's unique universe, providing the personalized advice that defines our approach to multi-brand luxury."}]}]}
