Being Jew…ish
Inspiration
Being Jew…ish by Emily Horton draws from the experience of growing up Jewish in America, navigating inherited religion, cultural identity, and the desire to belong. The collection finds its resolution on the baseball field, where a shared and immediate passion creates community that transcends personal and cultural difference. Silhouettes and a colour palette rooted in baseball uniforms and athletic gear are balanced with draped shapes and stripes derived from Jewish cultural garments, merging the aesthetics of the sports field with historical heritage. Cotton fabrics reference the pre-synthetic era of the game, grounding the collection in tradition, while heavy wool and canvas provide the structural integrity needed to hold its specific forms. Jew…ish is a collection about the tension between difference and belonging, and the unexpected places where that tension quietly dissolves.
