Mira Mikati's Trompe L’œil Scribble Trench Coat is an artful piece of outerwear that is part of the designer's Spring/Summer 2019 collection. Drawing inspiration from childhood, the white coat is accented with vibrant scribbles and illustrations of everything from buttons and sleeve buckles to pocket piping, thread detailing and a hanging waist belt. The garment also boasts other fun accents like a floral keychain and earbuds that peak out of its illustrated pockets.
In addition to her Scribble Trench Coat, Mira Mikati creates other vibrant statement pieces for the season ahead including embroidered slip-on shoes and scribbled overalls with an illustration of a pocket filled with paint brushes. The designer's latest collection is playful and storybook-themed thanks to its childlike art work that embodies sophistication when paired with structured and timeless silhouettes.
