coat in pride patchwork
community
When I asked the elders about their all-time favorite outfit, most had an immediate answer. A black leather jacket from a show one worked at & Japanese silk shirts with monochrome floral patterns. Confidence was recalled in connection to plaid fleece & to a burgundy leather skirt. Freedom was found running topless through the woods with only a flowy skirt on. This coat smashes all those memories together is a mix of color, pattern & texture. It’s not pretty or perfect, but community is always more about being connected than manicured.
