Part of ÂNIMA — The Shape of the Unseen, the Trace Jacket explores the marks left by movement, gesture and the hand upon material.
Cut in a cotton-silk fabric, its oversized silhouette combines the language of utilitarian construction with a softer, fluid surface. Hand-embroidered detailing interrupts the clean structure of the jacket, creating subtle traces across the garment.
Trace evokes what remains after a movement or presence has passed — a visible mark of something that cannot itself be held.
Within ÂNIMA, the piece brings this idea into the material world, balancing structure, texture and the evidence of the hand.
