I've realized that frequency isn't only something we create, it's something we become.
In my first journal, I wrote about the role frequency plays in the way we create our garments. About why we choose to fill our atelier with specific sound vibrations while every piece is being made. Because I truly believe that intention becomes part of the object being created.
But the more I think about it, the more I realize that frequency was never just about our garments. It has always been about us.
Every morning, we wake up carrying a different energy. Some days we want to take up more space. Others, we want to soften, disappear for a while, or simply slow down. Some days we crave strength and others, tenderness. There are days we want to play, create, seduce, rest, protect ourselves, or simply feel free.
For me, clothing has always been the language through which I express that energy. Not to hide who I am, but to amplify what is already there. That's why I've never understood the idea of having just one style. I don't have one, I have many, because there are many versions of me. None of them contradict one another. They coexist, and they are all true.
My essence remains the same, but the way I choose to inhabit it changes, and that's what fascinates me. Some days I'm drawn to sharp tailoring. Other days, I want silk flowing around my body. Sometimes I wear black because I want to feel grounded. Other days, I choose color because I want to expand. Every choice becomes a conversation with the person I want to become that day.
People often say we dress according to our mood. I don't think that's what we're doing. I think we're dressing according to our frequency.
Getting dressed has never been about covering my body. It's always been about discovering another part of myself.
I think clothing has always been one of our earliest forms of expression. Long before fashion became an industry, we used what we wore to communicate something about ourselves. Sometimes it was about ritual. Sometimes about culture. Sometimes about beauty. Sometimes about belonging. Sometimes simply about play.
But somewhere along the way, another game became louder. Clothing gradually became a language of hierarchy. Of status. Of belonging. Of comparison. We started dressing to prove something instead of expressing something.
Of course, not everyone chose to play that game. Many artists, designers, creators, and free spirits never stopped dressing from a place of curiosity and self-expression.
Others simply don't experience clothing that way, and that's okay too. For many people, clothing is, first and foremost, about functionality, protection, work, comfort, or culture.
And then there are those who deeply long to express themselves but don't yet have access to the clothes they imagine.
I've always found something incredibly beautiful about that because creativity has never depended on abundance.
In many ways, that's where Maison Mohe began.
I didn't begin with endless resources or unlimited possibilities. I began with an idea, whatever I had within reach, and an obsession with creating something meaningful.
Some of the most extraordinary expressions are born from limitation. From using whatever is available. From transforming what already exists. From making something out of almost nothing.
As Rick Rubin writes in The Creative Act: A Way of Being,
"Do what you can with what you have. Nothing more is needed."
I couldn't agree more.
I believe creativity is an instinct before it's a resource. It's the part of us that refuses to stay quiet. The part that wants to imagine, build, transform, and express itself regardless of our circumstances.
That's why, to me, this has never been about status. It's about intention. It's about choosing to create from wherever you are, with whatever you have.
Self-expression has never belonged to luxury. It belongs to anyone willing to listen to themselves.
I've seen extraordinary beauty created from inherited clothes, vintage finds, handmade pieces, garments altered at home, and fabrics given a second life. Creativity has never depended on abundance.
Because no game worth playing should make us feel smaller than one another.
To me, getting dressed is still play, it's curiosity, it's admiration. It's telling someone, "That color was made for you." It's celebrating individuality instead of competing with it.
I don't get dressed to be better than anyone else, and I don't want Maison Mohe to become that kind of brand either.
Maison Mohe was born from my own desire to create the layers I couldn't find elsewhere. To design clothes that feel like invitations rather than instructions. Pieces that don't tell you who to become, but encourage you to discover who you already are—or who you want to be that day.
Maison Mohe doesn't exist to tell you how to express yourself.
You already know how.
If anything, I hope our pieces simply become another language through which you can express what already lives within you.
I'm still learning to listen to my own frequency. Some days I get it completely wrong. But every morning I get another chance to ask myself who I want to become before I step into the world.
Because perhaps true elegance isn't about finding one fixed identity. Perhaps it's about giving yourself permission to inhabit every version of yourself. To choose your frequency with intention.
Because identity isn't a prison. It's a living work of art, constantly evolving.
The frequency doesn't live only in the garment, it also lives in the person who wears it. Our role is simply to create pieces that meet you there because maybe that's what getting dressed has always been.
A way of giving visible form to the invisible energy we carry within us.
Bisous,
Chloe Amutio
