A Wardrobe for the District

Club identity across a T-shirt, a hoodie, a scarf and a leather jacket.

A club wardrobe has several ways of speaking. The crest can sit quietly at the chest, lettering can occupy the back of a hoodie, or a jacket can bring together patches, dates and names. Each scale creates a different relationship between the garment and its wearer.

In the studio, Camille holds a Distrito Latino T-shirt alongside a black leather jacket. The pieces make room for distinct expressions of D.C. United culture. Nearby photographs show caps, scarves and pale cotton garments, extending the conversation beyond a single statement piece.

The work is considered as a wardrobe because supporters dress for more than the match itself. A shirt may be worn on the journey, a hoodie kept for the evening, a jacket carried through a city. The club's identity travels through those different situations.

The Journal follows the details that connect the pieces: the typography, the crest, the tags and the way the garments are held together on the rail. It is a record of the House's work around D.C. United, seen at the scale of clothes people can choose and wear.
