THAT COLOR

A week ago I was stuck working in the studio very late several days in a row to finish a five piece look for class.  I had an extraordinarily small amount of time to make everything so I focused most of my attention on the jacket I was making.  It's actually the third motorcycle jacket I've made this year - one of the others was shorter, slimmer and in black leather (I'll get photos of it eventually) and then there was the dress I made in crepe (see it HERE).

This time around I wanted to switch things up a bit.  Nothing radical, just a curved zipper that has a cutaway effect when worn open.  The fabric was also extremely important.  I intended on making the jacket in army green canvas or twill, but then I found this double face twill when I was shopping and the faded wasabi/chartreuse color proved irresistible.

The first four photos are from the third night working on it when I was finishing up; the photos after are of the jacket finished with the snaps put in on the collar and lapel.  Annnnd I also took photos of the vest I was wearing the night I finished it.

  1. Wow, that is a gorgeous jacket. I can definitely see it in a dyed lambskin with rhodium hardware (fuck student budges). Sick shit!

  3. Thanks! I would *love* a shearling moto, but leather and fur is so impossible to work with that I've almost entirely given up trying. It takes a very skilled person to make a professional looking jacket in leather or fur (depending on the complexity, of course).

  5. I go to Pratt. It's not easy or fun and the stress involved has made me into a completely different person. I can't imagine doing anything else.. but I definitely wish I had gone to FIT instead because the tuition is so so so much more reasonable.

"Androgynous Pratt student documents his outfits that run the gamut from everyday college kid to flamboyant club kid. Anyone who throws on a pair of Balenciaga platforms or 9" fetish stilettos to cheer himself up is pretty awesome and entertaining in our opinion!"

TOPSHOP INSIDE-OUT BLOG
"Dressing up is what William loves to do most. This young designer from New York doesn’t dress for fashion but just to have fun and enjoy himself like the big kid that he is. Both adorned as a man and woman, his blog isn’t your common “check-out-my-outfit” type blog. It’s a journey into NYC’s crazy nightlife with party outfits straight from the young creative/transvestite scene. Juggling Timberland homemade platforms, tie-dye t-shirts, camo baggy trousers and an orange furry jacket, his looks are absolutely bonkers-awesom, leaving us wanting more everytime. We strongly recommend that you check out his collection too . Made from Japanese anime babe-printed fabric, it’s pretty darn cool."

LYNN & HORST
"I strongly believe in the comeback of Manga and will further explore its use in contemporary art and fashion. Most probably, 'sexualization' will become a core motif. In the first instance, I'd like to draw your attention to the reanimation of Anime by Dripping Lazers."
