LF Markey - The Mystical Jacket

Providing staple items for the working woman for several years now, Louise Markey is known for being able to create staple pieces that are elegant as well as practical. In describing the focal piece of her SS15 collection, these may not be the first words that would come to mind. For her latest collection, Markey has drawn inspiration from 80's surf culture, and Mexican tourist jackets. The Mystic Jacket is Markey's unique take on this, with sleeves adorned with multi-coloured pom poms, and the body with vivid embroidered pops of colour and patches; fruit, eyes, lips, rainbows, surfers and other mystical symbols. But this very special jacket actually looks remarkably sophisticated when worn: Cut from 100% heavy textured cotton, the jacket has a perfect three-dimensional voluminosity. The hard wearing quality is exemplary of Markey's signature utilitarian design, and though the embroidery is playful, it is created with exceptional skill at a world-renowned embroidery workshop.
