A Ritual Beast








This is what I spent most of my summer working on. Figured it's already chilly enough out there to introduce it on the blog.

A little background information. About two years ago Rick Owens came out with this amazing fur hoodie (drkshdw), they had it for sale on oaknyc for about 2k. I wanted something like it, but longer (since the original hit a little below the waist). And then Philip Lim came out with an incredible fur-lined parka for this season. It sold out in a minute from netaporter. Here I present to you a fusion of the two :o). I'm paying homage to master Owens with the dramatic oversized hoodie and the sleek "skinny" sleeves. The hoodie is completely lined with fur and best of all - it is reversible. The last two pics are of it worn on the reverse.

I will measure it and list a couple in my Etsy later on today or tomorrow. To give you a general idea, the size is as you see it on the pictures - would fit a Small and a Medium.

Now, lovelies, I am dying to hear it from you, what do you think?

It's beautiful! Do you know for how much you are going to sell it yet?

StyleSpy said...

Besides looking very snuggle-able, you also look extremely cool. Anything inspired by Rick Owens is okay in my book.

Leslie said...

Love it Vera, I can see why you spent so much time on it. I love the contrast of the slim sleeves with the bulk of the fur. What fabric did you use for the sleeves?

Ms. Butterfly said...

p.s. I went to your etsy store and the skirt is so affordable. I hope to get it by the weekend.
