Shanghai Suit
Project Type
Art to Wear Woman's Wool Suit
Art to Wear Jacket
Capturing the stillness of a winter walk through Shanghai, this piece transforms structured 100% wool houndstooth into a landscape of frost and shadow. Delicate needle felting softens the classic black-and-white grid, mimicking the organic forms of a frozen garden. The design is finished with custom buttons made from houndstooth over-dyed in deep navy, adding a subtle layer of tonal mystery.
The skirt is upcycled wool, with a houndstooth insertion near the waist and needle felted hem and vine.
