MENSCHLICHES EXPERIMENT: A STUDY IN TEXTURE, INTENTION, AND HUMAN FORM
REFLECTIONS BY EAZEN LEE, FOUNDER OF P-23

ON 3RD MAY 2025, FROM 2PM TO 6PM, WE UNVEILED THE P-23 FALL/WINTER 2025 COLLECTION THROUGH AN IMMERSIVE SHOWROOM EXPERIENCE AT AWEGALLERY, SELANGOR. TITLED MENSCHLICHES EXPERIMENT, THIS EVENT MARKED A MOMENT OF STUDY — OF FORM, OF FUNCTION, AND OF HUMAN NATURE ITSELF.

THE SPACE WAS ALIVE WITH MOVEMENT AND SOUND, GROUNDED BY THE DISTINCT SET OF DJ RATGIRL, WHO LAYERED SONIC CHAOS WITH CONTROL, MIRRORING THE DUALITY THAT DEFINES OUR LATEST WORK.

THE EVENT SAW THE LAUNCH OF OUR FULL FALL/WINTER 2025 COLLECTION — A SERIES ROOTED IN FUNCTIONAL FORMS, TACTILE FABRICS, AND A MUTED, ALMOST MONASTIC ENERGY. ALONGSIDE IT, WE REVEALED THE 626 T-2 2025 COLLECTION, A LIMITED DROP THAT PUSHES MILITARY FUNCTION INTO A MODERN URBAN CONTEXT.

WE ALSO OPENED TWO SIGNIFICANT COLLABORATIVE WINDOWS:
FIRST, A PREVIEW OF P-23 X .BUNGKUS, A CROSS-DISCIPLINARY EFFORT WITH THE UPCYCLED DESIGN STUDIO KNOWN FOR REINVENTING USED MATERIALS INTO EVERYDAY OBJECTS WITH STORY AND PURPOSE. TO ANCHOR THE COLLABORATION, .BUNGKUS HOSTED AN INTIMATE WORKSHOP WHERE GUESTS CRAFTED THEIR OWN SMALL POUCHES OUT OF RECYCLED WALLETS — A GESTURE OF RECLAMATION, BOTH MATERIAL AND PERSONAL.

SECOND, A PREVIEW OF P-23 X BANYA, OUR FIRST STEP INTO LEATHER FOOTWEAR. BANYA, AN ARTISANAL LABEL SPECIALIZING IN HANDCRAFTED LEATHER SHOES, BROUGHT THEIR EXPERTISE INTO THE P-23 UNIVERSE, RESULTING IN SAMPLES THAT COMBINED DISCIPLINE, CRAFT, AND MINIMAL EXPRESSION.

MENSCHLICHES WAS NEVER MEANT TO BE A SPECTACLE. IT WAS AN OPEN EXPERIMENT — A PLACE FOR OUR COMMUNITY TO WITNESS, TOUCH, QUESTION, AND CREATE. TO ALL WHO CAME THROUGH: THANK YOU FOR ENGAGING WITH US, FOR MAKING THE EXPERIMENT FEEL HUMAN.

AND TO THOSE WHO COULDN’T MAKE IT — THE WORK HAS ONLY JUST BEGUN.
