The Black Olive Work Shirt features a subtle seersucker fabric that gives the basecloth a loftiness for summer evenings. Worn with or without an undershirt, this shirt is very sexy. The unusual mixing of summer olive and deep black add to its allure. The lightness of the fabric combined with its dark tones evoke dance halls, moonlit beaches, chrome lights illuminating palm trees, eyes moving to one another and then downcast, then meeting again, and repeat, and move forward or away, but with possibility and that place of ambiguity - which may be the best place because it's the place of fantasy without risk or injury and it's a shared place but mostly it's a place within yourself. So to find yourself in that place and stay in that place and also not make the move from that place- this is the place that correlates with this shirt, for me.

What does responsibility mean? People talk a lot about transparency and sustainability. I think the sum is responsibility. For Corridor, this means that we actually work in the factory with the tailors every season to create the garments and ensure the workshops are environmentally certified (ISO 9001) and socially accountable (SA 8000). You can feel good knowing where and how the garment was made.
This garment was a made in 3rd generation, open air workshop with on site day care, garden, paying a living wage to the artisans who made the goods. The workshop is located in Madras, India and melds the new (Japanese sewing machines) and the old (hand embroidery, hand loomed fabrics, natural dying) for a product that is authentic and contemporary. This is a mostly woman operated factory and is partnered with a rehabilitation center for women encountering domestic violence. We work out of the workshop for approximately two months of the year.
