An Idea
exes.collection is a curated vintage studio rooted in architecture, design and photography. It explores the character of garments from the past, bringing them into the present through a thoughtful eye for form, proportion and detail.
Like an ex-lover, each piece comes with its own history. Rather than chasing newness, exes finds value in what already exists, allowing old garments to become part of new stories.
A Way of Seeing
Every piece selected for exes has something that catches the eye, a twist in the cut, an unexpected detail, or a particular quality that sets it apart.
These small distinctions are what make a piece worth keeping. Through thoughtful combinations, contrast and styling, exes explores how vintage garments can come together to create a look that feels classic and timeless, yet sharp and individual.
A Message from Yang
Hi, I’m Yang. Fashion has always been something I’ve been drawn to. When we found the space for Oud House, I started imagining a small corner of my own where I could explore this interest. In the summer of 2024, that little idea became exes.
My background in architecture has shaped the way I think about design and storytelling. With exes, I wanted to explore this in a more personal way, giving each collection its own title and theme to tie the garments together. Through the styling and photographs, I hope to create a little world for each collection, one you can step into and share with me.
Beyond the collections themselves, the journey is just as meaningful. Collaborating with artists, photographers and other creative minds brings fresh perspectives and opens up new possibilities, allowing exes to grow and evolve as an ongoing creative project.
