Fashion label UNDERCOVER is honoring the highly talented American photographer and film director Cindy Sherman with its latest UNDERCOVER x Cindy Sherman leather jacket. The artist-honoring leather jacket is a reworked version of a traditional double rider style piece. The leather jacket is reworked to boast an oversized silhouette and cut, with added bold graphic details as a nod to Cindy Sherman and for standout visual appeal.
The UNDERCOVER x Cindy Sherman jacket falls under the category of a short coat moreso than a leather jacket due to its cropped cut detail. The zipper is asymmetrical and it has three pockets at the front—two of which have zipper closure details and one that has a snap button closure. The collars are designed to be wide, with metal studs accenting them. To reference Cindy Sherman, her name is painted on the lower part of the jacket and the back boasts a large print of her "Untitled Film Stills" series with her name. The UNDERCOVER x Cindy Sherman jacket is priced at $4,039 and is available for purchase at H.Lorenzo's website.
