Rosa Shirt

The piece

An open rose, embroidered in chocolate brown on off-white linen. The fill is shaded like an engraving, and an outline in natural-colour thread traces every petal and the spiral centre. It grows from a stem with a single leaf, low on the front. Linen is cool and has the irregular texture of a natural fibre: it creases with wear and gains character. A mandarin collar that opens into a V, pearl-tone buttons, dropped shoulders and wide short sleeves, with a hip-length hem to wear untucked.

Materiality

• Exterior · Linen

  A natural fibre from the flax plant. It is cool, absorbs moisture and dries quickly, which makes it the fabric of warm weather. It has its own irregular texture and creases with wear, which is part of its character.
