Most clothing is designed to say something—about who you are, what you believe, how you want to be seen. But what happens when you don’t want to be seen at all? When your emotional system is offline, your nervous system is fried, and the act of “being a person” in public becomes too heavy to carry?
That’s where None of Us and Nofs exist.
They are not trends.
They are emotional support systems disguised as garments.
? None of Us: The Uniform for Intentional Disappearance
None of Us is a framework for opt-out clothing—for moments when you need to remove yourself from the social economy entirely.
It’s not about invisibility in a literal sense. It’s about becoming unreadable—to step outside of interpretation, narrative, or invitation.
“There is no one home in here. Please move on.”
? Technical Breakdown:
Form: Monolithic. Shapes that blur or eliminate the human silhouette—oversized, angular, utilitarian.
Material: Heavy, frictional, non-pliant—waxed canvas, raw denim, blackout synthetics. Meant to create emotional distance.
Color: Asocial tones—slate, ash, rust, oxidized teal. Colors that do not emote.
Visual Language: If anything is printed or stitched, it is indecipherable. Glyphs, corrupted tags, visual static.
? Psychological Function:
Blocks expectation of engagement
Dismantles appearance-based assumptions
Offers the wearer a non-verbal exit route
This system is especially vital for:
Trauma recovery
PTSD shutdown phases
High-stakes dissociation
Executive function collapse
None of Us is not aestheticized pain.
It is pain-proofing the body.
? Nofs: The Interface for Softened Presence
Nofs Tracksuit is the companion system to None of Us.
It’s what you wear when you can still move through space—but can’t hold emotional weight.
Nofs isn’t about withdrawal. It’s about limiting exposure.
“I am here, but I can’t hold your gaze.”
? Structural Design:
Form: Loose and draping. Hangs off the body like fog. Designed for ease, not display.
Material: Sensory-neutral—washed cotton, double gauze, tumbled linen. Textiles that soothe.
Color: Desaturated warmth—dove grey, chalk pink, mist blue, softened olive.
Signals: Minimal to none. Some small motifs, if present, serve more as internal markers (worn for the wearer, not others).
? Intended Use:
Low-social-energy environments
Recovery after stress
Depression days
Grief functioning
Nofs enables presence without performance.
It allows you to show up gently, without being pulled into dialogue, narrative, or attention.
? How to Know Which to Wear
| Emotional Condition | Wear | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| Total withdrawal | None of Us | Needs full disconnect, no social access |
| Functional but fragile | Nofs | Allows movement with minimal interaction |
| Involuntary public exposure | Nofs | Provides quietness and emotional insulation |
| Pre-shutdown warning signs | Nofs → None | Step down capacity before full crash |
| Self-erasure needed for safety | None of Us | Blocks being seen, named, or interpreted |
? Who Uses These Systems?
People with CPTSD, autism, anxiety disorders
People in mourning, burnout, or psychiatric recovery
Neurodivergent folks navigating hostile environments
Anyone who needs clothing that functions as emotional infrastructure
These garments aren’t style choices.
They’re boundary mechanisms.
✂️ Not Made for the Gaze
Fashion expects to be looked at.
None of Us and Nofs do not.
They aren’t selling identity.
They aren’t inviting compliments.
They aren’t participating in the game of “dress to express.”
They are wearable statements of non-consent to interpretation.
? Closing Thought: When Garments Become Safe Rooms
In a world that expects us to perform selfhood 24/7, None of Us and Nofs say:
“You don’t have to be understood today.”
“You don’t have to be seen in the right light.”
“You don’t owe anyone access to your interior.”
These systems offer not a look—but a language of refusal.
Not as an act of aggression, but as an act of care—for yourself.
Because sometimes, the most powerful clothing isn’t what makes you look good—
It’s what lets you survive unnoticed.
