Short-sleeve shirt in featherweight leather
Céline • Fall-Winter 2017
-
Céline’s FW 2017 featured a series of reconstructed garments, each made of its own deliberate patchwork of asymmetrical panels which indicate this approach.
On this waisted short-sleeve shirt in lightweight calfskin leather, vestiges of an older garment are repurposed to create its entirety: a welt pocket with darts is transformed into a sleeve. On the back, a grommeted strap (which might have been part of a belt) now forms part of a pair of ties that serve to cinch the waist further when knotted.
Along with most garments in the same collection, this piece is factory-pressed with crushed creases throughout, perhaps as a hint to its provenance from worn and reworked articles of clothing.
