ARCHIVE COLLECTION - Denim Conversation Bombers

An upcycling acrobatic feast. No random movements, no wasted fabric. The challenge of spinning an ill fitting denim jacket into a bomber gave us a solution in the form of a process. collars became pocket flaps, seams were double reinforced, and cuffs were added to the shoulders to both widen the arms and drop the neckline. Nothing is designed, the details were already there.
