In Through My Threads & Stitches…, Yvano Khoury returns to a childhood in which playing with dolls was forbidden. The destruction and disposal of a doll given to him by his grandmother becomes the emotional starting point for a collection that approaches making as an act of repair. Through thread, deconstruction, and reconstruction, he revisits this experience and reclaims a form of expression once denied to him.

Drawing on kintsugi and Glen Martyn Taylor’s unconventional approach to mending pottery, Yvano makes repair visible. Different stitching techniques hold the garments together, with carefully finished seams that retain the appearance of being unfinished. Wood introduces an unexpected material into the construction, extending his exploration of how damaged things can be pieced together. Each stitch connects the repair of the garment to the memory of the doll and his own process of healing.

Structured cotton garments are taken apart to give life to new forms, while woven cotton brings fluidity that becomes firmer when assembled in layers. Black, pale pink, gray, blue, and multicolored elements form the palette. The collection carries the marks of its reconstruction openly, giving Yvano space to revisit what was taken from him and determine what it can become.
