as inspiration in the collection. But for an emerging artist like Darby, having a painting displayed in such a public spectacle is a big deal and can propel their career forward.
“I gave Hedi Slimane complete freedom to use the painting however it inspired him. After he designed the jacket, it was hand embroidered. It’s a very special, limited edition piece and only fifty jackets were made,” she continued. It makes sense that there was such a limited run of the jackets since each one was embroidered by hand by the brand, the details are staggering.
