Bazan Printed Organza Silk Button-up Shirt Jacket - Roots Print

Dropped shoulder mid sleeve oversize cardigan jacket that's perfect to layer with any outfit. Features handbraided button loops and button enclosure. This sheer cardigan is made of 100% silk organza that we digitally printed our design on. Handstiched with a Vietnamese blind hem stitch. Floating in the air, like the orchids roots, we entangle ourselves in complex networks of growth composed of both past and present. Drawing in strength from mist and air. Culturing ourselves out of our environment. For 2023, we found inspiration from the orchids roots in our studio garden. As we tender to our garden, the orchid plant is uprooted and displaced onto broken ceramics, where over time, its roots begin to grow and entangle itself around the object, making a new place, a new belonging. For our families who were uprooted as refugees, and by circumstance became part of the Vietnamese diaspora around the world, they too found themselves uprooted, and rooted again in new places, with a new sense of home, belonging and interconnectedness. Our orchid root print is of roots that will entangle upon ones body. We will continue to nurture, water, and tend to our roots, as we ever so growing and evolving.
