vestigio
About the project
A printed newspaper that reads fashion as a palimpsest: each collection carries traces of earlier ones, and the old coexists with the new.
The name means a remnant, the evidence of something that existed before, and the pages work the same way. Images are layered and made transparent so that earlier traces remain visible beneath newer ones. Photography is desaturated, with isolated fragments of color kept as remnants of memory, and the palette stays austere so that image and type carry the content.

Process
Research into fashion as a living archive led to the palimpsest as the guiding idea. Hand-drawn sketches then set out four levels of articles and how images overlap across the page, before the logotype and typefaces were defined.
