Developed in layered shades of black and brown, this waistcoat explores richly textured surfaces with depth and nuance. Tone-on-tone cross-stitch embroidery is worked into the fabric, forming subtle repeating patterns that add quiet dimension. Restrained and intentional, the detailing builds depth without relying on contrast. Grounded and composed, the piece balances texture and form, offering a contemporary expression of understated elegance and quiet authority.
