The beetle moves from Akire’s signature into the denim.
A sourced BOSS-HUGO BOSS denim in white, selected for its 100% cotton composition and regular silhouette, becomes the ground for one of Akire’s recurring symbols from nature.
Five beetles are worked by hand in light-pink beads. Four inhabit the front of the denim,two positioned on either side while a fifth appears at the back pocket.
Against the clarity of white denim, the restrained use of a single colour allows the form of each beetle to remain distinct.
For Akire, the beetle has long been a point of observation: small in scale, yet remarkable in form, transformation, strength and purpose.
Here, it is translated through beadwork and placed onto an existing garment, giving the denim another life while carrying a recognisable mark of the House.
Each beetle is hand formed bead by bead, allowing the hand to remain visible in the work.
