Maroske Peech | distal phalanx

Maroske Peech is a collaboration between Elisa Keeler and Jordan Conder.

All pieces are made in Naarm/Melbourne, Australia.

Sourcing/Ethics - Each Maroske Peech collection has been considered carefully and utilises ethical sourcing and operates on a small-run basis. This is thanks to our local community of suppliers and manufacturers who we choose to work with as our part of our approach to sustainability. Fabrics sourced locally from Naarm/Melbourne’s fabric merchants, and pieces produced ethically through local family owned manufacturers, using new and reclaimed fabrics. Our pieces repeat for a short time before we have cut-through the reclaimed materials we source. Meaning limited numbers exist of each piece. Selected fabrics are treated at our local dye-house, who implement water saving and water recycling initiatives. This type of conscious production is built into our brands DIY storyline, and we provide you information for transparency and education.

how do you catch a cloud and pin it down? (mall characters)

This season, Maroske Peech fantasized about chance encounters with characters in public spaces (the ancient primary meeting ground for debate -usually found in the heart of the city) humbly in this era that meeting place is the shopping centre. The reality of these characters feels sensational and almost scripted. The archetype of a mall goer with nowhere else to be, the sudden independence post school pre casual employee, a jet setter burning a 5 hour stop over, corporate ladder climber, a gym junkie, a goth, a busy parent juggling expectations and a pram, appears independent from the camera lens though a performance nonetheless. We wish to pin down the intangibile rare innocence of the well dressed stranger in public.
