Rock + Roll Jacket
Ivory Linen Jacket with Rock + Roll patch, Swarovski crystals and India Ink.
“This Italian-made ivory linen jacket caught my eye at a thrift store. The quality immediately stood out to me on the rack. This piece was the blank canvas I was looking for, a well-made jacket that wanted to sparkle. On my next trip to M&J Trim, I chose the patches and the crystals.
I placed each black and yellow Swarovski crystal one by one, to create the drip effect down the back and sleeve, which pools at the bottom of the hem. For it to really be “rock + roll,” it needed something more. India ink was a new medium for me, and I decided to experiment with it. I sprayed the jacket with water to wet it, then lightly placed the ink-dipped brush and let it blossom into unique patterns on the fabric. I sprayed it a bit more, which created the splash effect, and the intriguing ink stains. Finally, I highlighted certain areas to hold as much ink as possible, creating a glossy, enameled look with the varnish from the ink.
The final touch: an eye-popping matching silk charmeuse lining for a next-to-the-skin silky feel.
It took forever, but the result was worth it.”
