Anticounterfeiting + craft

Talented youth, one table.

The program is not a fashion club. It is a rights-and-materials studio: how fakes harm workers and brands, how to read an object, and how to remake without laundering a lie.

Workshop table

A six-week cohort

  1. Week 1 — The harm. Labor, safety, and the difference between a bootleg joke and a commercial fake.
  2. Week 2 — The eye. Stitch, foil, scent, weight, hologram. Guest authenticators when we can get them.
  3. Week 3 — The strip. Unbranding lab. Nothing leaves the room still wearing another house’s face.
  4. Week 4 — The harvest. Hardware, textile, foam. Material science without the lecture hall.
  5. Week 5 — The remake. One object, documented start to finish.
  6. Week 6 — The public table. Show the process, not a “dupes” haul.
