Description

Originally a 1990s Levi’s sherpa-lined denim jacket, cropped to meet the waist and re-imagined through a series of interventions: neon-yellow dye wash, overpainted stencil graphics, and hand-cut appliqués. The central Crass symbol—adapted from David King’s design for Penny Rimbaud’s anarchist collective—appears fractured and faded, its weapon bent into paradox. Red “anarchist flower” patches, stamped by hand using litho-cut print blocks, repeat across the garment in quiet defiance. Constructed from post-consumer materials and layered processes, the piece embodies protest as craft and repair as ideology.
