Abstract
Drawing inspiration from surrealism and fantastical magical worlds like Narnia, I developed my junior collection titled "The Poet, the Rebel, and the Wardrobe." This jacket forms the focal point of the collection. From the front this coat appears to be a simple silhouette with a clean, structured fit but has back view that comes as a surprise. This garment features a layered capelet in back with a belted & pleated panel, side inseam pockets, a hidden button placket in front, stand collar, and a detachable faux fur stole with a customized faux leather belt attached. Made in a coordinating mix of natural grey hemp and wool tweed, the neutral blend makes for a versatile and chic statement piece. The inside of the coat further serves to delight and surprise with an unexpected interior lining in a silk-like colorful paisley print on a white background and a contrast lace hem finish.
