• Understudy is a radical return to craft and care in the face of an increasingly automated world. We are an iterative and nomadic artist-run space offering handmade and one of a kind garments and objects. 

All items are either handmade by the designer or manufactured using small scale production methods. Our goal is to reimagine what clothing can be, to approach self-presentation in a playful and imaginative way, and to foster an improvisational method of dress. 

• This project is run by Emma and Emi in New York City.

• Our current pop up is at 41 Orchard St through July 6th featuring 36 designers; see the full list here.
