This should be called My Qissa.

There is no meaningful separation between me and the brand. That isn’t positioning.. it’s structural.

Qissa was not conceived in stability, but it wasn’t born there either. The most recent drop was developed during a three-month admission in a psychiatric ward. That is not symbolic. It is simply when the design work occurred.

I have a documented pattern of addiction and self-sabotage. Not theatrically, but systemically. Cycles that repeat because they provide temporary control. Control is the most important thing in my life. Control of love, control of my schedule, control of my belongings.

Qissa operates as a controlled environment. It is the only system in my life that responds predictably to intention. When everything else is volatile relationships, impulse, discipline, cognition this remains inert unless acted upon. That reliability is the point.

Streetwear is an expression

If there is meaning present, it is not obscured. It is procedural. This is what relative order looks like for me, not recovery, not resolution, but continuity.

This is Qissa.

It functions.
