Playing with the concept of long-sleeved asylum garments, this simple linen dress takes on a provocative twist. Cloaked entirely in the sleeves of classic men's shirts, it transforms from a conventional piece into a bold statement of gender fluidity and self-expression. The once-familiar structure of a dress is subverted, the sleeves—traditionally symbols of masculine tailoring—are reimagined, creating a garment that challenges conventional notions of style and identity. It is a garment that refuses to be defined by expectation, boldly embracing the idea of gender-fuck clothing: an artful blend of androgyny, awareness and rebellious sophistication. This dress becomes not just a piece of clothing but an act of self-empowerment—a true declaration that style is personal, fluid and free from limitation.
The foundation of this dress is made from an authentic 20s linen—an exquisite and rare find; its timeless quality accentuated by the original selvage left exposed at the hem, a detail entirely lost to modern fabric production. Each sleeve is meticulously hand-sewn from vintage cotton scraps, ensuring that almost no two are alike. This process, deeply rooted in craftsmanship, results in a garment as singular as the materials it’s made from, where every stitch and every choice tell a story of meticulous care and the celebration of forgotten textures. The combination of vintage fabrics and thoughtful, artisanal construction gives this dress a distinctive allure, one that echoes the past while creating something entirely new and beautifully unique.
