This jacket has been recreated using vintage crochet blankets sourced from the Facebook Marketplace.
It features my signature dramatic shoulder, and has been carefully cut and curated to accentuate the original geometry patterns of the crochet work.
Before I cut into any of the materials I’ve sourced, I spend time with the piece to appreciate its original form ie; geometry, colour, pattern, texture and material fibre - and how they move on the bias so that not only is it beautiful, but functional.
ETHICALLY + LOCALLY MADE: Cut in my studio and locally sewn by a high skilled sewer who only works with one of a kind pieces and samples giving employment to local craftspeople.
