Samuel and Stephen's Works

2024.10.08

Subsequence is an experimental media project that discovers and disseminates topics related to crafts and culture from around the world through an alternative perspective. The work of London based photographer, Samuel Bradley and stylist Stephen Mann has been featured since the inaugural issue as a visvim WMV fashion editorial within the pages of the magazine, which acts as the primary medium for presenting content. For each feature, the only direction given from the editorial team is that the piece aligns with the magazine's theme for that edition. The repeat editorial feature overflows with the creativity of the pair and is simply a beautifully crafted story. We always prefer to have readers enjoy our content by viewing the impactful work in our large format print publication, however we have opted to introduce some of the content here for viewing.

"OLD VISVIM NEVER DIES" featuring WMV products

2024.10.01

There is one thing you begin to realize as you collect vintage things. That is the fact that you do not often come across women's pieces.

Handle operated sewing machine

2024.08.06

A typical "lockstitch" sewing machine operates by continuously feeding a fabric in the same direction, however a handle operated machine has the ability to freely depict patterns by adjusting the "frame" that holds the fabric in place to move in a 360-degree motion by operating the handle. Nowadays, computer operated sewing machines have become popular as they can control seam lines and thread tension digitally by way of a pre-programed setting that yields a more uniform finish, but with a handle operated machine the person who controls the movements adjusts with their hands to advance the stitch, where each stitch line can become slightly altered to exhibit minor fluctuations or distortions.

visvim Fall and Winter 2024

2024.07.30

When it comes to a theme for each seasonal collection, it is not something that is forced into existence, it is actually a string of thoughts consisting of things I may constantly feel in my daily life or things I feel are important, which are then contextualized and presented as a series of key words. For this season's theme, "In An Intuitive Manner," I wanted to take the opportunity to focus again on exactly that by, "reassessing my own feelings."

Utility Wear

"Having utility" is always an important concept that remains central in our making of products. This is a feature that can be particularly important for outdoor products that are often used in harsh weather environments.

Natural Dyed Denim

2024.05.07

The appeal of natural dyeing is the deep, clear color that it can create, which is simply not possible to express with synthetic dyes. Denim that is woven with yarns that are dyed to the core maintains its original color for a longer time and changes its aesthetic appearance more gradually.

Spinning

How can I approach making something that has the same charm as something I find beauty in. It may be possible to make something appear similar on the outside, but I think that is different from the real authentic feeling that I am chasing. As a result of my pursuit to create the same charm that reveals itself from the inside rather than a superficial place, I found myself creating my own yarns, the foundational aspect of all materials.
