The Modest
Wing

An exhibition of covered couture — each garment lit and hung as sculpture. Move through the room; buy from the placard.

The Collection

Rooms of the Exhibition

The house shows in wings. Each piece bears its placard — accession, medium, and the terms of its purchase. Nothing is behind glass; every work is available to the collector.

Modesty is not the absence of a thing. It is composition — what a garment chooses to reveal of its architecture, and what it holds in reserve.

— From the wall text, The Modest Wing

The Gallery

HAYU keeps a permanent collection of modest couture — abayas, veils, menswear and attar — refreshed as new works arrive. Admission is open.

Hours

Open continually.
Placards are live; orders ship from the atelier once the boutique goes live.
