BA Collection
the same deep water
 
“The same deep water” explores one of the most classic themes of paintings and poems: the clothed human body in water. When submerged, delicate fabrics bloom into voluminous shapes, dull colours become vibrant, hair twists like tendrils of smoke – and emerging from the depths waterlogged fabric clings heavily to the body, shiny and dark. The collection plays with volume and layers, transparency as well as different dyeing and printing techniques that embody the feeling of floating gently in the deep.

With UNSURFACED, Simon Büge presents his menswear collection, in which the trust, fit and stability of clothing are not presented as fixed promises, but as fragile constructions that shift on the body and are constantly being renegotiated.
 
In a fashion industry that stages classic craftsmanship as an image of perfection, timelessness and luxury, the collection turns its gaze to what underlies this image: process, labour and decision-making. It sees itself as a critical commentary on the image-making function of bespoke tailoring and shifts the focus from the representative result to the temporal practice of its creation.
  
Incompletion functions here as a central design principle. It marks not a deficiency, but a productive state of in-between – between fitting and adjustment, between body and ideal, between hand and material. Fit appears not as a final goal, but as a sensitive balancing of proximity, tension and space. The stability being negotiated here does not mean durability, but the constancy of the relationship between body and construction.
 
Classic cuts are destabilised through omission, displacement or inversion. Materiality creates deliberate friction: familiar forms encounter resistance, movements are slightly restricted, expectations are subverted. In this deliberate shift, a space emerges in which ‘bespoke’ can be reinterpreted – not as an image, but as an attitude. In terms of colour, the collection follows the logic of the atelier: dark blue, grey, natural tones and black dominate. Markings, raw edges and visible seams provide precise accents. The reduction in elements draws the eye to construction, proportion and relationship.
 
Simon Büge understands craftsmanship as a reflective, responsible practice in the digital age. The craft of tailoring is not romanticised, but visualised as knowledge that takes shape through action, failure and precise correction. With his collection, the designer makes a case for a fashion that makes decisions visible – and in doing so unfolds its aesthetic and ontological power.
