About

i made this kind of jacket for the wonderful lady in the picture. she´s a part time model and wore one of my dresses for a fashion show. so i said to her that i will sew her something as a reward. she designed the jacket, i made the pattern and sewed.
the jacket is some kind of shrug and ends above the bustline. It has a slit in the back, long sleeves with pirate like cuffs closed with a button, pocket flaps also closed with buttons, epaulettes and a stand-up collar. It´s completely lined with the red lining.
I only made the shrug, the rest of the outfit and make-up is by her. Photo was taken by a photographer called Blyg from berlin.

edit 06.05.11: see the shrug in action in this music video!!!!
