DESCRIPTION:
THE OXIDIZED IRON REVERSIBLE VENA GLOVE TOP CLINGS TO THE WEARER LIKE A SECOND SKIN. THE VEINLIKE SEAMWORK FLOWS OVER THE ARMS AND BODY MIMICKING THE NATURAL CURVATURE OF THE HUMAN FORM.
THE VENA GLOVE TOPS FEEL AS IF TO EXPOSE THE WEARER FROM WITHIN THE BODY, WITH SEAMWORK INSPIRED BY VEINS IN THE BODY, ENCASING THE WEARER IN A VEIL OF SILK ORGANZA. THE GARMENT IS FULLY REVERSIBLE DISPLAYING THE INTRICATE SEAM WORK ON ONE SIDE OF THE PIECE. THE VENA GLOVE TOPS ARE MADE FROM NATURAL SILK ORGANZA AND FEATURE A MINIMAL CLOSURE DETAIL AT THE NECK.
THE GLOVE ELEMENT IS INTENDED TO ENCASE THE WEARER IN A COCOON-LIKE FEELING THAT TRANSFORMS THE NATURAL RESTING POSITION OF THE HAND TO THAT OF OTHERWORLDLY SHAPE AND FORM.
EACH GARMENT IS HAND DYED UTILIZING NATURAL INGREDIENTS TO CREATE A UNIQUE COMPOSITION THROUGH THE OXIDIZING IRON PROCESS. NO TWO DYED GARMENTS ARE ALIKE, AND REVEAL THEIR EPHEMERAL NATURE TO THE WEARER OVER TIME. DUE TO THE NATURE OF THE DYE, THE COLOR IN THIS GARMENT IS MEANT TO FADE OVER TIME CREATING A MORE INTIMATE AND PERSONAL CONNECTION WITH THE WEARER.
SUSTAINABILITY:
THE MATERIAL USED FOR THE VENA GLOVE TOPS IS NATURAL SILK ORGANZA MADE IN THE USA. THIS GARMENT IS HAND DYED USING A PAINTING DYE TECHNIQUE, AND IS DESIGNED TO TAKE THE PLACE OF MULTIPLE GARMENTS IN A WARDROBE, LIMITING WASTE. ALL SCRAPS FROM THE CUTTING PROCESS OF THIS GARMENT WILL BE SAVED AND REUSED IN NEW DESIGNS. ALL PAPER SCRAPS USED TO CREATE PATTERNS FOR THIS GARMENT ARE ALSO SAVED TO BE REUSED AS PACKAGING.
MODEL IS 6’4”, 32” WAIST, 19” ACROSS SHOULDERS.
FABRIC:
100% ORGANIC SILK ORGANZA
WASHING INSTRUCTIONS: DRY CLEAN ONLY
MANUFACTURING: HAVING COMPLETE CONTROL OF THE MANUFACTURING PROCESS IS VERY IMPORTANT. THEREFORE, THE GARMENT MUST START WITH UNDYED FABRIC. THIS PIECE IS THEN CUT AND SEWN IN KENT, OHIO BY A VERY SMALL TEAM OF SKILLED CRAFTS PEOPLE. AFTER THE GARMENT IS FULLY CONSTRUCTED IT IS THEN HAND DYED, AND PACKAGED IN HOUSE.
WE CREATE GARMENTS THAT SHIFT AND CHANGE WITH THE WAY THE WEARER IS FEELING. THIS GARMENT IS MEANT TO EVOLVE OVER TIME AND CREATE BEAUTIFUL AGE MARKINGS THAT WILL BE COMPLETELY UNIQUE TO YOU, THE WEARER. WE HOPE EVERY GARMENT WE PRODUCE CREATES A MORE GENUINE CONNECTION BETWEEN THE WEARER AND THE OBJECTS THAT INFORMED THESE DESIGNS.
