COSMOS

A relaxed-fit stand collar top with a front placket , featuring gathered kota on the sides. Crafted from a multi-color handblock printed cotton-silk blend, with an all-over placement print . Comes with a separate cotton silk lining . Motifs inspired by the diverse floral elements of Amer were first translated into hand-drawn watercolor paintings. These designs were then meticulously adapted into hand-carved blocks, carefully considering the limitations of the medium. The play with negative-positive space, color separation, and outlining led to both singular motifs and intricate, multi-layered repeats. As many as 80 small and large wooden blocks were used to create pattern repeats for a single garment.
