Craig Green's Outerwear Pushes the Boundaries of Conventional Design
A multi-colored patchwork parka is among the most noticeable and captivating pieces in Craig Green's collection for the Fall/Winter 2018 season. The piece is engaging, to say the least. While the tailoring is kept relatively traditional according to the standards of contemporary outerwear, the silhouette boasts impeccable patchwork that points to an exceptional craft technique. The arrangement of the color palette is also worth mentioning as the Craig Green patchwork parka combines the vibrancy of yellow, green and orange with the more tamed nuance of brown, teal and royal blue.
Although truthfully an aesthetic marvel, the fashion-forward and craft-celebrating piece is far from practical as cotton is not a sustainable choice for cold-weather months. The extravagant patchwork parka is available for purchase through online shop SSENSE and it retails for $2,200 USD.
