Nocturne Trapeze Jacket
Inspiration
Rooted in the dialogue between traditional Eastern tailoring and nocturnal botanical romanticism, the piece draws inspiration from antique haori structures and Imperial court botanical tapestries. Delicate ivory, rose, and sage flora climb organically across an ink-black velvet ground, mimicking night blossoms illuminated by soft moonlight. The cut marries the clean restraint of Japanese ceremonial silhouettes with contemporary London evening tailoring—striking an effortless balance between opulent heritage needlework and modern, fluid architecture.

Finishing Details: Graphic embroidered border trims frame the collar, front placket, hemline, and wide cuffs, creating sharp visual definition against the fluid drape.
