TOGETHERNESS 1. The quality or state of being or belonging together or of forming related parts of a unified whole:


Tristan Detwiler began reworking antique quilts into garments in 2018. A chance encounter with eighty-year-old quilt maker Claire McKarns introduced Detwiler to the Bumann Quilters of Olivenhain, California. After becoming a member, he applied the group’s shared knowledge to his autumn/winter 2021–22 collection. He constructed this ensemble using a late nineteenth-century one-patch pattern quilt given to him by McKarns. By cutting the jacket and trouser patterns directly from the quilt, he was able to maintain its original design.
