BLACK LEATHER CERITH SET

“FOR BOTH THE CERITH JACKET AND JEANS I WANTED TO FOCUS ON A NEW FORM OF REVERSIBLE CONSTRUCTION THAT IS BOTH CLEAN IN LINEWORK, AND CONCEALS HIDDEN MAGIC IN THE DETAILS. FOR THE JACKET, A SHEER ESTUARY SPINE DETAIL WITH COMPLEX MULTI LAYER CONSTRUCTION PROVIDES THE ILLUSION OF A LINING TO THE JACKET. THE DENIM INTERIOR OF THE JACKET CARRIES AN ASYMMETRIC HIGH NECK WHEN FULLY CLOSED, WITH HIDDEN SIDE SEAM POCKETS. THE SCULPTURAL PATTERN OF THIS JACKET BECOMES THE FOCAL POINT OF THIS SIDE AS THE MATERIALITY IS MORE MINIMAL. THE JACKET CAN BE WORN FULLY BUTTONED UP OR WITH THE LAPEL FOLDED DOWN ON EITHER SIDE, SUGGESTING THAT THE INTERIOR OF THE JACKET ISN'T AS IT SEEMS.FOR THE JEANS, A HIDDEN FLAP CONSTRUCTION CONCEALED WITH FRENCH SEAMS CREATING AN ILLUSION IN THE MECHANICS OF THE CLOSURE TO BOTH THE WEARER AND THE OUTSIDE WORLD. A HIDDEN WAISTBAND THAT CONNECTS THE LEATHER SIDE OF THE JEANS TO THE DENIM ON THE REVERSE SIDE, OFFER A CLEAN TRANSITION BETWEEN THE TWO FACES OF THE GARMENT. THE LEATHER IS FULLY REVEALED ON THE REVERSE SIDE BY A TWO WAY ASYMMETRIC EXPOSED FLY AND ORGANIC WELT POCKETS WITH SHEER ORGANZA POCKET BAGS THAT OVERLAP TO THE REVERSE SIDE OF THE JEANS. A MIND CONTORTING SET OF DESIGN WORK WITHIN THE FUNCTIONALITY OF THE GARMENT THAT CONTRIBUTE TO A TRULY REDEFINED PAIR OF JEANS.”

BLACK LEATHER CERITH JACKET

THIS REVERSIBLE CERITH JACKET FEATURES BLACK VEGETABLE TANNED LAMB LEATHER PANELS THAT ADORN THE 12 0Z CONE MILLS DENIM JACKET BODY, AND FEATURES 2 POCKETS ON BOTH SIDES OF THE GARMENT. THIS JACKET HAS A TOTAL OF 10 JEANS BUTTONS, 5 ON EACH SIDE THAT FOLLOW A CURVED ASYMMETRIC LAPEL. THE SLEEVES OF THIS GARMENT ARE SCULPTURE DERIVED, SEAMLINES CASCADE AROUND THE CYLINDRICAL SCULPTURE REMINISCENT OF HUMAN FORM, THAT CULMINATE INTO THE FINAL OUTCOME OF THE REVERSIBLE SLEEVE STRUCTURE, AND UNCONVENTIONAL NATURE OF THE ORGANIC SEAMWORK. 

THE OUTSIDE OF JACKET IS ENCASED IN A RIVETED LEATHER ARMOR VEST. THE  EXTENDED SHOULDERS PUSH FORTH THE SHIELDED ARMOR CONCEPT, AND THE CAREFULLY PLACED RIVETS ARE REMINISCENT OF A PRESERVATION PROCESS UTILIZED IN DOCUMENTING WINGED INSECT SPECIMENS.

THE BACK OF THE JACKET FEATURES AN ESTUARY SPINE CUTOUT THAT TRANSVERSES THROUGH A VEIL OF SHEER SILK ORGANZA, A CONNECTIVE TISSUE BETWEEN THE DENIM AND LAMB LEATHER. THIS MOTIF IS A REPEATING SIGNATURE THROUGHLINE IN THE DESIGNER’S LANGUAGE; A SYMBOLIC SHAPE TO THE DESIGNER’S PERSONAL LIFE. 

THIS EXPLORATION HAS LEAD US TO CREATING THIS PIECE THAT PROTECTS THE WEARER WITH A LEATHER ARMOR SHELL, A METAPHORICAL NOD TO THIS CONCEPT FOUND IN NATURE, WHILE THE  REVERSE SIDE OF THE GARMENT ALLOWS IT TO BE WORN AS DENIM JACKET WITH LEATHER LAPELS THAT ACCENTUATE THE DESIGN WITH A GLINT OF TEXTURE AMONGST THE DEPTH OF THE DENIM FABRIC. THE REVERSE SIDE OF THIS JACKET ALSO FEATURES 2 POCKETS ALONG SEAM LINES FOR SUBTLE FUNCTIONALITY, THE BODY FLECKED WITH CONSTELLATION LIKE HARDWEAR FROM THE REVERSE SIDE OF THE RIVETS. SEEMINGLY RANDOM UPON FIRST GLANCE, YET THESE MOMENTS OF HARDWARE HINT TO THE VIEWER THAT THERE IS A TRACE OF SOMETHING OUTLINED WITHIN THE JACKET, WAITING TO BE DISCOVERED.
