Lingua Franca - Jade Embellished Cable Knit Skirt - Ivory
“I love Mick and Bianca, but Jade’s more my speed,” he quipped about their young daughter. “I taught her how to color and she showed me how to play Monopoly. She was four and I was forty-four. Mick got jealous. He said I was a bad influence because I gave her champagne," -Andy Warhol on hanging out with Jade Jagger at his Montauk house.
A stand out piece in the collection, this unique look was inspired by fishing sweaters historically knit by the families of fishermen, often containing hidden meanings in each of the cable patterns in order to identify if lost at sea. This cable knit midi skirt is made of a soft alpaca blend and embellished with braided fabric scraps from fabric used throughout the collection as well as recycled denim. It features a button closure on the side seam and a thick fringe running down the opposite side. Please note that each piece is truly one-of-a-kind, as the denim and fabric cuttings used ensure that no two items are identical.
