groundswell.
written by the atelier · Milan · the call is open
A swell starts as nothing. A vibration too deep to be heard, a movement too slow to be seen.
Then the ground rises. The street is a different street. Everyone paying attention says I knew. Everyone else says what just happened.
This is the brief we open to the world. The first call of the house · curated brief, open jury. Squizito sets the bar; the Squizito community on Vora reads what comes back. Anyone can register, anyone votes for their preferred idea. One artist will see their work become the founding garment of the archive, digitally printed on 180 g/m² GOTS-certified organic cotton and finished by hand in Milan, paired with 100 ERC-721 certificates, sold once and never again.
"I created the drop
of Squizito."
· a line you carry forever.
Drop 001 is the opening of Strata · the first series. Thirteen more strata follow, each its own brief, each its own selected designer commissioned via a fresh bando di selezione, each its own celebrated limited edition. When stratum 014 closes, Strata closes too · and a second series begins under a different name. What rises from below cannot be controlled. It can only be worn · and only by those who hold the certificate.
