I usually don't like red but these two pieces called my name at thrift and it got me back onto red
I was exploring continuing to decorate on outerwear and warm layers because it was deep winter. A cool part of this project is I have been making things in season as the season is happening. When you are designing for corporate brands and outsourcing the production you are always designing for future seasons and usually, you are working on opposite seasons too so you might be living in summer but designing for fall. I get inspired my what i want to wear so its fun to feel things and take action right then in season.
Thrifted canvas jacket with faux fur lining, upcycled with faux fur collar, scrap trims and fleece
Thrifted fleece jacket with faux fur sleeves and collar added, i hand stitched the collar on to add a special finish
Whenever I hand stitch I like to do so in embroidery thread to call out the hand stitching
