With the tailoring project and my second year studying fashion design at uni just around the corner, I have had the excuse to get up close and personal with some gorgeous jackets. My favourite designer at the moment is Zoe Jordan and I’m completely in love with her silky smooth snake-skin Jacquard jackets. The slightly cropped cut of the jacket below and slight gathering of excess fabric below the yoke gives a gorgeous silhouette to dress up or down. From the delicately sculpted shoulders adding a softly tailored form to the simplicity of the neckline and front fastenings this is my dream jacket and has really inspired me to focus on subtle detailing and a pure, smooth fabric for my designs.
Also by Zoe Jordan, this virgin wool cropped jacket is gorgeously minimalist and the cut is just perfect. Simplicity is key with this jacket both front and back in this jacket. I love the collarless look (and have no idea technically how they have made this look so flawless – I will investigate!). The contrasting detail add another dimension to the design whilst staying simple and pure.
