'sub-surface exposure' highly detailed lightweight jacket

This one-of-a-kind jacket is an urban high-fashion statement that serves as a wearable canvas for the artist’s most complex studio techniques. The unique design is defined by a sophisticated, hand-worked topography where many signature processes—including intricate appliqué, distressing, hand-painting, embroidery and mixed-fabric paneling—create a rugged yet refined piece. An ode to texture, the piece features a beautifully balanced hand-painted watercolor palette of charcoal, soft yellow, gray and ochre, all partially obscured by a delicate, veil-like layer of fine mixed silks that adds mysterious depth, with some spots of the underlying design literally 'peaking through'. Meticulous hand-detailing is visible in the raw, frayed edging and the artisanal collar, while the comfortable, structured silhouette ensures ease of wear. This unique piece balances with utmost ease a raw, "under the surface" aesthetic with modern, avant-garde elegance. It is also lightweight, comfortable, easy-care and non-wrinkling, making it a perfect take-along on trips. Will work for a range of sizes, shown on small. Product code: E7377

Very brief cold water hand wash, a few drops of mild detergent, always separately, spin in washer and dry on medium, or air dry and finish in dryer to soften. Also can be dry cleaned by mild methods, or dry cleaned in dryer at home with a store-bought kit. Do not use stain removers, spot treaters or bleach pens. Contact us for any advice, if needed.

All garments arrive to you freshly cleaned, unlike regular store-bought items, and are ready to wear.

Dry-cleaning is ok on most items but only if gentle methods are used and the cleaners are familiar with cleaning hand-painted delicate fabrics.

To freshen up any item that doesn’t need deep cleaning simply mist it with a water spray and put in the dryer on medium heat for about 15 min.

All garments can be hand washed. Wash each item separately, cold water only, minimal amount of detergent, and as briefly as possible, no soaking. The wash can be followed by a spin in the washer and dried on medium heat until dry. Knits should be hung-dried and when dry, finished in the dryer for a few minutes to soften.

Hand-pressing may be necessary after the wash and dry to straighten out the seams and edges which tend to pucker or curl on natural fabrics.

Some hand-dyed items may leak a bit of color during the washing, that is normal and will not affect the item. Using liquid softener during the wash will minimize any color leaking.

For more tips and details please refer to the cleaning instructions card included with your package.
