What a piece has to answer before it gets made.

Four questions, in this order.

Idea What does this piece add that we do not already have?

Restraint Does the detail add something, or did empty space make us nervous?

Wear Does it still work as clothing?

Honesty Can we describe it without stretching the truth?

In practice

It applies to the next one too.

The standard is not finished. Each release tests it, and what comes back goes into the piece after.
