One-of-a-kind piece
Momento Mori Vest
A pale, acid-washed denim vest transformed into something altogether darker.
The Memento takes the familiar silhouette of a sleeveless denim jacket and disrupts it with an intricate monochrome back panel, where skulls emerge from a dense tapestry of gothic florals and ornamental forms. Framed in black lace, the panel brings an unexpected richness to the distressed denim, setting delicacy against decay.
The original seams, copper-toned hardware, faded indigo and worn detailing have been deliberately retained, allowing the history of the garment to remain visible rather than disguising it beneath the reconstruction.
From the front, it is restrained: washed denim, exposed arms and the scars of a life already lived.
Turn it around and the piece reveals itself.
Dark. Ornate. Unapologetic.
