His work transformed fabric into a kind of technology: responsive, lightweight and capable of changing shape as the wearer moved.

Sailing has never just been about the water. It exists somewhere between sport, transportation, leisure, and social status, carrying with it a culture that has evolved far beyond the deck. What began as a necessity became competition, competition became tradition, tradition became lifestyle, and eventually that lifestyle became fashion.
