A sheer gesture of emotion and architecture, the Windows to the Soul Pleated Bolero is crafted from 100% recycled polyester and designed to layer light and meaning. Featuring a mandarin collar that nods to traditional Chinese tailoring, the silhouette is defined by voluminous sleeves that tie at the wrists creating a romantic and expressive mood. At the back, delicate pleating adds movement and depth, echoing the rhythm of window shadows and textile memory. The print, drawn from abstract railings and intuitive mark-making, evokes the idea of garments as portals; framing identity, history, and transformation.
