One-of-one pieces by working designers and artists, housed at LIGA for a single season. When a piece is acquired, it leaves the collection for good.
Slow Projects is a football design studio working between London and Sydney, founded on the belief that the game's garments deserve a longer life. The studio repairs and reworks shirts by hand using vintage fabrics, from reimagined Arsenal and Juventus kits to commissions for EA SPORTS FC, Under Armour FC, Back Market and Millesime. For Exhibition 001, four one-of-one national team pieces are on loan at LIGA.
Hand-appliquéd panels and reclaimed lace sleeves on a vintage México shirt. Cut, layered and finished by hand. One of one.

Each season, LIGA signs an independent studio or artist on loan. Their pieces join the site alongside the Archive, never mixed into it.
Every piece is one of one, photographed and catalogued with full provenance. LIGA houses, packs and ships each work from New York.
When a piece is acquired, the loan ends. It transfers permanently to your collection.
