THIS BLACK BUBBLE HOODIE HAS AN ELONGATED, OVERSIZED FIT WITH STRUCTURED BUBBLE SLEEVES THAT ARE ACCENTED WITH 2 WAY RACCAGNI ZIPPERS, A CENTER CHITON PLATE INSPIRED POCKET, THUMB HOLES AND ZIPPERS WHICH EXTEND FROM THE CUFF TO THE TOP OF THE HOOD. THIS HOODIE IS MADE FROM A 11.75 OZ ORGANIC TERRY COTTON AND FEATURES TWO 60” RACCAGNI ZIPPERS. THIS GARMENT WAS DESIGNED AS A CHALLENGE DUE TO THE DESIGNERS DISLIKE OF HOODIES. LIKE MANY PIECES IN THIS COLLECTION WE WANTED TO CREATE A STAPLE ITEM AND PUSH IT FURTHER INTO SOMETHING ALIEN.
FOR THIS GARMENT WE LOOKED TOWARDS NATURE TO INSPIRE US TO CREATE FORMS OF THE FUTURE. WE WANTED THIS HOODIE TO METAMORPHOSIZE, ADAPTING TO THE WEARERS NEEDS AS THEY NAVIGATE THEIR WORLD, WHETHER IT BE BLENDING IN OR STANDING OUT IN OUR SOCIETY. THIS HOODIE CAN CONVERT INTO A PONCHO-LIKE GARMENT COMFORTING THE WEARER, OR PEELING ITSELF AWAY FROM THE SKIN LIKE A COCOON TO REVEAL THE HUMAN FORM. ALTERNATIVELY THIS GARMENT CAN BE LEFT AS A HOODIE TO ACT AS CAMOUFLAGE IN A SEA OF CONFORMITY. THIS GARMENT OFFERS MULTIPLE METHODS OF WEAR, TO EXIST AS MULTIPLE GARMENTS SIMULTANEOUSLY WITH NO RIGHT OR WRONG WAY TO BE STYLED - NO FINALITY OF WEAR.
SUSTAINABILITY:
