Josephine Tunic in Silk Crepe

This piece is an amalgamation of a few difference sources of inspiration. The Josephine Tunic was a piece I designed very early on – named after a favorite Wallflowers song, it was a simple, cap sleeve tunic that worked with anything. For this version, I improved the fit of the sleeves and neck, and added volume at the back with a box pleat. The deep slits were inspired by Colette, one of our very first seamstresses, and a dramatic, full-length, sheer tunic with slits she made for herself years ago. The side vents add the perfect amount of movement and drama to this piece, and allow for excellent air flow. This is one of those things that feels so good to move in–you know the kind. A garment that gives you confidence while you walk, that has presence and drama. Layer with matching trousers, or over a great pair of jeans. Excellent as a beach coverup, or even over shorts. The vents allow easy access to pockets, which is key. This piece is one of my favorite marriages of functionality and beautiful form.
